DRIVE MODES

The drive modes control the rate and method images are captured. Icons indicating the selected drive mode appear on the data panel and LCD monitor and in the EVF. See setting the function dial section on page 48.

Single-frame advance – to take a single image each time the shutter-release button is pressed.

Bracketing – to take a series of images with differing exposure, contrast, saturation, and color.

Continuous advance – to take multiple images when the shutter-release button is pressed and held.

High-speed continuous advance – to take multiple images at size and quality setting approximately 3 frames per second.

UHS continuous advance – to take multiple 1280 X 960 images at approximately 7 frames per second.

Self-timer – to delay the release of the shutter. Used for self-portraits.

Interval – to take a series of images over a period of time.
