SETTING QUICK SHOT

(STILL IMAGE SHOOTING ONLY)

With the normal settings, when the shutter release button is pressed, the digital camera performs the exposure correction, the white balance settings, the focussing, and other settings before the image is captured. This leads to a time lag between when the shutter release button is pressed and the image is actually captured. By turning on the quick shot setting, these settings are set less precisely, but the lag time from when the shutter release button is pressed to when the image is actually captured is drastically reduced.

NOTE

How to shoot with the quick shot

œWhen the quick shot setting is on, the first time the shutter release button is pressed, the digital camera performs the normal settings. If the shutter release button is again pressed within 1 second after the camera becomes ready (the stand-by indicator lights green), the quick shot function works to capture the image quickly. It is possible to take sequential quick shots if it is within one second. If the shutter release button is pressed after an interval of one second or more following the previous shot, the digital camera performs the settings as for normal shooting.
