FILM DRIVE MODES

APPENDIX
The 800si has two film-drive modes: Continuous Advance and
Single Frame Advance . In Single Frame Advance, the camera
makes one exposure and advances the film one frame each time
the shutter-release button is pressed. In Continuous Advance, the
camera will release the shutter and advance the film (up to 3 frames
per second) as long as the shutter-release button is held down.
Press the self-timer/drive-
mode button in the control
panel.
Turn either control dial until
appears in the data panel.
Press the shutter-release
button partway down to enter
the setting.
• When Autofocus Priority is selected, the shutter will not release until
sharp focus is confirmed. To release the shutter even if sharp focus is
not confirmed, change Customized Function #1 (AF Priority/Release
Priority) to Release priority (setting 2). See page 69 and page 102.
• When the camera is in release-priority mode (RP), the shutter releases
even if the subject is not in focus.
• Lens "Power Zoom" functions do not operate in Continuous mode (AF
Zoom xi and AF Power Zoom lenses included).
