Shooting in the Scene Mode

dSports

Use this mode for dynamic action shots that freeze the action in a single shot and record motion in a series of pictures. With continuous shooting, instantaneous movements in moving subjects can be captured clearly.

•The camera will continuously focus on different objects until you press the shutter-release button halfway to lock focus.

•While the shutter-release button is held down, the camera shoots at a rate of about 0.9 frames per second (fps) when image quality is set to Normal and image size is set to N4224×3168. Focus, exposure compensation, and white balance are fixed at values determined with the first shot in each series.

•The maximum frame rate with continuous shooting may vary, depending upon the current image quality setting, image size setting, and the memory card used.

•The camera focuses on the subject in the center of the frame.

•AF-assist illuminator will not light up regardless of the AF assist (A168) setting.
