dOther shooting scenes

Depending upon shooting conditions, the camera may not select the desired scene mode. Should this occur, switch to A(auto) mode (A30) or select the optimum scene mode for the subject manually.

dSports

While the shutter-release button is held all the way down, the camera shoots up to about 6 images continuously at a rate of about 8 fps (when image quality is set to Normal and image size is set to F4000×3000).

The frame rate for continuous shooting may become slow depending upon the current image quality setting, image size setting, the memory card used, or shooting condition.

Focus, exposure, and hue are fixed at the values determined with the first image in each series.

eNight portrait

The flash always fires. Raise the flash before shooting.
