y M d Sports
Use this mode when shooting sporting events. The camera
captures a series of still images that allow you to clearly see
detailed movements in a moving subject.
• The camera focuses on the area in the center of the frame.
• Press and hold the shutter-release button all the way to
capture images continuously. Up to five images are
captured continuously at a rate of about six fps (when image mode is set to P).
• The camera focuses even when the shutter-release button is not pressed halfway. You
may hear the sound of the camera focusing.
• Focus, exposure, and hue are fixed at the values determined with the first image in each
series.
• The frame rate with continuous shooting may vary depending upon the current image
mode setting, the memory card used, or shooting condition.
y M e Night portrait
Use this mode for evening and night portraits that include
background scenery. The flash fires to light the portrait subject
while preserving background lighting to achieve a natural
balance between the main subject and background
ambience.

mode is selected, select Hand-held or Tripod.

to capture a series of images which will be combined into a single image and saved.

moving it until a still image is displayed. After taking a picture, do not turn the camera
off before the monitor switches to the shooting screen.

distorted, overlapped, or blurred.
• Tripod (default setting): Select this option when using a tripod or other means to
stabilize the camera during shooting.
- The Z icon is displayed in the shooting screen.
- Vibration reduction (
A 94) is automatically set to Off regardless of the setting in
the setup menu.

pressed all the way.

images (
