❚❚Choosing a Release Mode

Press &button and use the multi selector and Jbutton to choose from the following release modes: Single frame (the

camera takes one photograph each time

the shutter-release button is pressed), z Continuous (the camera records photos

at up to 5 frames per second while the &button shutter release button is held down), and Electronic (Hi) (the camera records pho-

tos at high rates while the shutter-release button is held down).

AElectronic (Hi)

Choose from frame rates of 10 fps, 30 fps, and 60 fps (0 44). The flash does not fire while Electronic (Hi) is in effect. At the default setting of 10 fps, the camera takes pictures at about 10 frames per second (fps) while the shutter-release button is pressed and camera focuses on the subject in the center of the frame; face detection (0 10) is not available. The camera can record up to about 13 frames in a single burst. At frame rates of 30 and 60 fps, face detection is available but focus and exposure are fixed at the values for the first photograph in each series; the number of frames that can be recorded in a single burst is about 12.

AContinuous

If the flash is used, the camera will take only one photograph each time the shutter-release button is pressed. Lower the flash before taking pic- tures.

AShooting in Electronic (Hi) and Continuous Release Modes

While photographs are being recorded to the memory card, the access lamp will light. Depending on shooting conditions and memory card write speed, recording may take up to about one minute. If the battery is exhausted before all photographs are recorded, the shutter release will be disabled and the remaining images transferred to the memory card.
