CONTINUOUS-ADVANCE NOTES
The maximum frame rate with continuous advance is 3 frames per second with a shutter speed of 1/250 or faster, no flash, single-shot AF or manual focus, fresh batteries and no date imprinting. AF Zoom xi and Power Zoom lenses cannot be zoomed when taking pictures with continuous advance.
The frame rate is affected by the shutter speed, flash, and AF mode. The built-in flash must recharge between exposures. When using an accessory flash, the camera continues to take pictures regardless if the flash has charged. The frame rate may be reduced when using continuous AF or with moving subjects with Automatic AF as the camera focuses between exposures.
SELF-TIMER NOTES
When the shutter-release button is pressed partway down, focus and exposure is locked for the picture. Do not stand directly in front of the camera when pressing the shutter-release button. To change the focus point, release the shutter button and then press it partway down again.
Press the shutter-release button all the way down to start the timer. The self-timer lamp on the front of the camera blinks, then glows steadily just before the shutter releases. The audio signal accompanies the self-timer lamp.
To cancel the self-timer countdown, change the position of the mode dial. The self-timer drive mode is canceled after the picture is taken. Attach the eyepiece cap if a bright light source is behind the camera (p. 41).
