Continuous Shooting (
j, k, l, m Mode)
Use this mode to capture the details of a moving subject by shooting a continuous
series of images.
• This function can be used when the shooting mode is
j, k, l, m or M.
U Single (default setting)
One picture is shot each time the shutter-release button is pressed.
k Continuous H
While the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, images are captured
continuously at a rate of about eight fps (when the Image Quality is Normal and
the image size is F 4000×3000). Shooting ends when the shutter-release
button is released, or five pictures have been taken.
m Continuous L
While the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, about 24 pictures are
captured continuously at a rate of up to about 1.8 fps. (when the Image Quality is
Normal and the image size is F 4000×3000).
q Pre-shooting cache
Pre-shooting cache makes it easy to capture perfect moments, by saving images
from before the shutter-release button was pressed all the way. Pre-shooting
cache shooting begins when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, and
continues when the shutter-release button is pressed all the way (
A79).
• Frame rate: up to 15 fps
• Number of frames: Up to 25 frames (including up to five frames captured in the
pre-shooting cache)
• Image size for recording is fixed at B (1600 × 1200 pixels).
• Shooting ends when the shutter-release button is released or when the
maximum number of frames has been taken.
C n Continuous H: 120 fps
Each time the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, 50 pictures are
captured continuously at a speed of about 1/125 s or faster.
• Image size for recording is fixed at A (1280 × 960 pixels).
C j Continuous H: 60 fps
Each time the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, 25 pictures are
captured continuously at a speed of about 1/60 s or faster.
• Image size for recording is fixed at B (1600 × 1200 pixels).
D BSS (Best Shot Selector)
BSS is recommended for shooting when the lighting is dim without the flash, with
the camera zoomed in, or in other situations in which camera shake is likely to blur
pictures.
The camera continuously takes up to ten pictures while the shutter-release button
is pressed all the way. The sharpest picture (image with the most details) in the
series is automatically selected and saved.
