Using the Burst Setting

NOTE The Burst setting does not work in Panorama mode, nor 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 83). Also, the flash does not work while using the Burst setting.

Burst allows you to take approximately 5 still pictures in a row as quickly as the camera possibly can.

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

2Frame the subject and press the Shutter button all the way down and hold it. The camera takes approximately 5 pictures as quickly as possible until the Shutter button is released.

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

Using the Shooting Modes

NOTE The shooting mode does not apply when you are recording video clips.

Shooting modes are pre-defined camera settings that are optimized for taking pictures of certain scene types to give you better results. In each shooting mode, the camera selects the best settings, such as the ISO speed, F-number (aperture), and shutter speed, optimizing them for the particular scene or situation.
