Taking Pictures in a Sequence: Continuous

Fine-

The options in the “continuous” menu are used to take pictures in a continuous sequence. This can be useful when, for example, you are trying to capture a fleeting expression on a portrait sub- ject, or photograph a subject that is moving un- predictably. With the Multi-Shot 16 option, you can record movement in a single picture consist- ing of sixteen consecutive frames.

Description

Camera takes one picture each time the shutter-re- lease button is pressed all the way down.

While the shutter-release button is held down, pic- tures are recorded at a rate of about three frames ev- ery two seconds. The camera will continue to take pictures even when the memory buffer ( 29) is full, although the rate at which pictures are recorded will drop.

Each time the shutter-release button is pressed, the camera takes sixteen consecutive “thumbnail” imag- es 512 ⋅ 384 pixels in size and combines them into a collage measuring 2,048 ⋅ 1,536 pixels. This option is not available at image sizes ( 52) other than 2048, or when digital zoom ( 47) is in effect.

At settings other than Single, the current “con- tinuous” setting is indicated by an icon in the moni- tor.

2048 NORMAL

Flash, Focus Exposure, and White Balance

At settings of Continuous and Multi-Shot 16, the flash turns off, and focus distance, exposure, and auto white balance are determined by the first pic- ture in each series.
