Using the Burst setting

Burst allows you to take two or more pictures as quickly as possible when you press and hold the Shutter button all the way down.

1.While in Live View, press to display the Capture Menu, use to highlight

Burst, press , use to select On, press , then press . For more details on selecting options in the Capture Menu, see Using the Capture Menu on page 23.

2.Frame the subject, then 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 pictures as quickly as possible 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 images have been taken, each image appears one at a time in Instant Review (see Instant Review on page 14). You can delete the entire burst sequence in Instant Review. To delete individual images, see Deleting images on page 31.

To add audio to images taken with the Burst setting, see Recording audio on page 33.

The Burst setting remains in effect until it is changed again, or until it resets to the default Off setting when you turn off the camera.

Exposure Compensation

You can use Exposure Compensation to override the camera's automatic exposure setting. Exposure Compensation is useful in scenes that contain many light objects (like a white object against a light background) or many dark objects (like a black object against a dark background). Such scenes could turn out gray without the use of Exposure Compensation. For a scene with many light objects, increase the Exposure Compensation to a positive number. For a scene with many dark objects, decrease the Exposure Compensation.

Tip To see the effect varying Exposure Compensation settings might have on a scene, try the Exposure option in Bracketing (see Bracketing under Using the Capture Menu on page 23).

Adaptive Lighting

This setting balances the relationship between bright and dark areas in a picture, preserving gentle contrasts while reducing harsh contrasts. When used with a flash, Adaptive Lighting can brighten areas that a flash wouldn’t reach. Adaptive Lighting is useful in situations like these:

●Outdoor scenes with a mixture of sun and shade

●High contrast scenes that contain both light and dark objects

●Indoor scenes that use flash photography (to soften or even out the effect of the flash)

●Backlit scenes where the subject is too far away for the flash to reach, or is severely backlit (for example, in front of a window)

You can use Adaptive Lighting with or without flash, but it is not recommended as a replacement for flash. Unlike the flash, Adaptive Lighting does not affect exposure settings, so brightened areas may appear noisy or grainy, and indoor or night images may be blurry if taken without a flash or a tripod.
