Description
Camera records one picture each time the shutter release
button is pressed all the way down.
Camera records pictures at a rate of about four frames
every three seconds (1.3 fps)* while shutter-release
button is held down. Not available at HI image quality.
Each time the shutter-release button is pressed, the
camera takes sixteen consecutive “thumbnail” images
568 x 426 pixels in size and combines them into a
collage measuring 2272 x 1704 pixels. This option is
available only at a size of 2272 x 1704 and FINE,
NORMAL, or BASIC image quality.
Camera takes series of pictures 640 x 480 pixels in size.
Image quality (p. 81) is set to NORMAL, allowing pictures
to be taken at approximately two frames per second while
shutter release button is held down.
Camera records up to seventy NORMAL-quality pictures
320 x 240 pixels in size (QVGA) at a rate of about thirty
frames per second while shutter-release button is held
down. Each sequence of pictures is stored in its own
folder.
• At settings other than Single, the flash is set to Off ( P) and will not fire even
when lighting is poor (p. 48).
• At settings other than Single, the focus, exposure and white-balance settings
used for the first image apply to all other images in the same series.
* Rate of 1.3 fps is for image size of 2272 x 1704. Shooting will slow when
memory buffer fills.
Ultra HS
• Setting of Ultra HS only takes effect when the monitor is on. If the monitor is
turned off, the camera will revert to a setting of Single until the monitor is
turned on.
• At a setting of Ultra HS, the zoom indicator in the monitor moves from S
(start) to E (end) as recording progresses. The exposure-count display shows
the number of seventy-pictures sequences that can be recorded.
• With each sequence of pictures taken at Ultra HS, the camera creates a new
folder in which all pictures in the sequence are stored. Each folder will have a
name consisting of “N_” followed by a three-digit number assigned
automatically by the camera. Pictures can be played back by selecting the
appropriate folder or All Folders from the playback Folders menu.
• Ultra HS are only available when the monitor is on. If the monitor is off, the
camera will revert to Single until the monitor is turned on.
At settings other than Single, the current
Continuous setting is indicated by an icon in
the monitor.
