◆Notes on using the Continuous shooting modes ◆
hShooting continues as long as holding the shutter button down. In auto bracketing mode however,
just press the shutter button once to shoot 3 frames.
hIf there is limited space on the xD-Picture Card, as many frames as can be recorded on the
available space are shot. When auto bracketing, if there is insufficient space on the xD-Picture Card
to record 3 frames, no pictures are taken.
hThe focus is determined in the first frame and cannot be changed in mid-sequence (excluding Long-
period continuous shooting).
hThe exposure is determined in the first frame, however, in Long-period continuous shooting the
exposure is adjusted for the scene being shot.
hThe speed of continuous shooting varies depending on the shutter speed.
hThe speed of continuous shooting does not change with the quality setting.
hThe flash cannot be used as the flash mode is set to Suppressed flash.
hFor top 3-frame continuous shooting, final 3-frame continuous shooting and pictures taken using auto
bracketing, the results are always displayed after you shoot.
This mode shoots up to 3 frames (max. 2
frames/sec.). When taking the pictures, the images
appear and are recorded.
