SHOOTING MODES
CONTINUOUS SHOOTING
The camera is set to single shots by default ( Single ). Series of shots
can also be created to e.g. capture motion sequences at various
stages.
▸ Select Drive Mode in the main menu
▸ Select the desired setting
( Continuous - 2 fps / 14 bit / AF , Continuous - 4 fps / 14 bit / AF ,
Continuous - 7 fps / 14 bit , Continuous - 9 fps / 12 bit , Continuous
- 15 fps / 12 bit )
Once you have finalized your settings, the camera will do continu-
ous shootings as long as you keep the shutter button pressed down
fully (and you have sufficient space on your memory card).
Notes
• We recommend deactivating the preview mode ( Auto Review )
when using this function.
• Regardless of how many frames were taken in a series, the last
image in the series or the last image saved on the memory card
while the saving process is ongoing will be displayed first in both
review modes.
• Continuous shooting is not possible if a flash is used. Only a single
shot will be taken if the flash function is activated.
• Continuous shooting mode is not available in combination with
the self-timer function.
• The buffer memory of the camera only allows a limited number
of frames in series and in the selected exposure frequency. The
exposure frequency is reduced, once the capacity limit of the
camera's buffer memory is reached. This slow-down is due to
the time required to transfer the data from the buffer memory to
the card. The remaining number of exposures is displayed at the
bottom right.
• The following applies for continuous shooting with +2 fps – +4 fps:
Automatic settings (exposure settings in operating modes
P / A / S , automatic white balance and autofocus) are implemented
individually for each frame.
• The following applies for continuous shooting with +7 fps – +15 fps:
Automatic settings (exposure settings in operating modes P / A / S ,
automatic white balance and autofocus) are implemented for the
first frame, and are then applied for each subsequent frame in the
same picture series.
