Using the Burst Setting

Burst allows you to take up to 3 still pictures as quickly as possible. The camera then continues taking burst pictures at a slower rate until you release the Shutter button or the camera runs out of memory.

NOTE The Burst setting is disabled while recording video clips. You also cannot record audio when using the Burst setting, but you can add an audio clip later (see Record Audio on page 61). Also, the flash is disabled while using the Burst setting.

1Press the Timer/Burst button until Burst appears in the Image Display.

2Frame the subject and press the Shutter button halfway down to lock the focus and exposure. Then press the Shutter button all the way down and hold it. The camera takes 3 pictures as quickly as possible and continues taking burst pictures until you release the Shutter button or the camera runs out of memory.

The Image Display remains off during the burst capture. After the burst pictures have been taken, each image appears one at a time on the Image Display.

When Burst is selected, the Burst icon will appear in the Live View screen. The Burst setting remains in effect until it is changed again or until the camera is turned off. The camera resets to the default Normal timer/burst setting when you turn the camera off.

NOTE To restore the timer/burst setting to what it was when you last turned the camera off, hold down the Menu/OK button as you turn the camera back on.
