VContinuous

While the shutter-release button is held down, up to 7 pictures are taken at a rate of about 1.2 frames per second (fps) when image mode is set to i Normal (3648).

DBSS (Best Shot Selector)

The “best shot selector” is recommended when shooting with the flash off or the camera zoomed in, or in other situations in which inadvertent motion can result in blurred pictures.

When BSS is on, the camera takes up to 10 pictures while the shutter-release button is held down. The sharpest picture in the series is automatically selected and saved.

WMulti-shot 16

Each time the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down, the camera takes 16 shots at a rate of about 7.5 frames per second (fps), then arranges them in a single picture. Image mode is locked at L Normal (2592) when using auto mode, and locked at M Normal (2048) when using high sensitivity mode. Digital zoom cannot be applied.

At settings other than Single, the indicator for the current setting is displayed in the monitor (A 8).

BNote on Continuous Shooting

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

Distortion control (A 85) cannot be used at the same time as Continuous, BSS, or Multi-shot 16 (A 86).

BNote on BSS

BSS may not produce the desired results if the subject moves or the composition changes while the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down.

BNote on Multi-shot 16

Shooting, Playback and Setup Menus

If bright objects such as the sun or electric lights are captured, vertical streaks of light may appear in the recorded images. We recommend that you avoid capturing bright objects during continuous shooting. 83
