Using the Burst Setting
Burst allows you to take up to 4 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.
1.Press the Timer/Burst 
button until Burst 
appears in the Image Display.
2.Frame the subject in either the viewfinder or in Live View. (See Using Live View on page 34.)
3.Press the Shutter button all the way down and hold it. The camera takes 4 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 burst setting when you turn the camera off.
NOTE: The burst setting is not available 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 69). Also, the flash is not available while using the burst setting.
TIP: To restore the timer/burst setting to what it was when
you last turned the camera off, hold down the 
button as you turn the camera back on.
