This camera is capable of taking continuous shots at up to approx. 3.5 frames per second.
This feature is useful for photographing moving subjects and for situations where you do not
want to miss a snapshot opportunity.
• For self-portrait shooting, the shooting speed is set to approx. 2 frames per second.
• The number of continuous shots that can be taken varies depending on the capacity of the
memory card in the camera.
• Continuous shooting stops when the memory card is full of recorded images.
• The exposure and focus are not reset during continuous shooting. The continuous shots are
all taken using the exposure and focus set immediately before continuous shooting began.
• The speed at which data is written to a memory card varies according to the type of card used.
• If you use an SD memory card that is intended for high-speed recording, you can use
continuous shooting to shoot at approx. 3.5 frames per second until the memory card is full.
• To ensure that you obtain true approx. 3.5 frame per second performance, format the SD
memory card on the camera ( p.6-5) beforehand.
• If you repeatedly shoot and erase frames, the continuous shooting speed may drop. If this
occurs, save the images on your PC and then format the memory card on the camera
before continuing.
• If the subject is dark so that slower shutter speeds are used, the continuous shooting
speed may be slower than approx. 3.5 frames per second.
• If you use the flash, you can only shoot one frame.
• If you use the self-timer with continuous shooting, 3 pictures are taken at one-second intervals
after the specified time has elapsed. (See “Taking Pictures Using the Self-Timer” on p.4-4.)
