CONTINUOUS SHOOTING
In this mode, when you keep the shutter button fully depressed, the camera will
take pictures continuously. At the time of continuous shooting the number of
frames per sec. is given below.
HI MED LOW
Burst Rate 1.9fps for 6frames 2.4fps for 14 frames 2.5fps for 30frames
CAUTION !!
•
When AF mode is set to AF (Single AF mode) mode and the focus indicator
in the viewfinder is on, focus distance and exposure value are fixed at the setting
for the first picture. It is possible that focus and exposure could be incorrect, if
subject moves or the brightness changes. When AF mode is set to AF
mode
(Continuous AF mode), then camera will focus on the subject continuously.
However, depending on the subject situation, since the shutter release has the
first priority there is a possibility that the picture may be out of focus.
•
When you use the continuous shooting mode with external flash, the camera
may be slow, because the camera will not take pictures, while the flash is
re-charging.
•
Images taken in rapid succession, such as during Continuous shooting, are
initially stored in the camera's internal memory buffer. This allows you to
continue shooting without having to wait for images to be recorded to the CF
card. The internal memory buffer can store up to 6 images (at
HI
resolution). Once the memory buffer is full, the shutter will be disabled until
some images have been transferred to the CF card.
SELF TIMER
When you want to include yourself in the picture or avoid camera shake, please
use the self-timer.
When you set the self-timer to 10s, then the shutter will be released 10seconds after
you fully press the shutter button.
When you set the self-timer to 2s, then the shutter will be released 2seconds after
you fully press the shutter button.
After you decide the composition of your picture, press the shutter button ”Half-way”
and adjust the focusing. Then, when you press the shutter button the rest of the way,
the display in the viewfinder will disappear and the self –timer will be activated.
During the self-timer operation you will hear an electronic beeping sound. The
beeping sound will be much faster during the last two seconds, before the shutter is
released. The LCD panel will also countdown the remaining time.
