Exposure Mode Recording Precautions
• You may not be able to achieve the brightness you want
when recording an image that is very dark or very bright.
If this happens, use the M mode (manual exposure) to
adjust the aperture or shutter speed manually.
• Using slow shutter speeds can cause digital noise
(graininess) to appear in the image. Because of this, the
camera automatically performs a digital noise reduction
process whenever the shutter speed is 1/8 second or
slower. The slower the shutter speed, the greater the
possibility that digital noise will be generated in an image.
Also note that the digital noise reduction process can
cause it to take longer to record each image.
• At shutter speeds slower than 1/8 second, the brightness
of the recorded image may not be the same as the
brightness of the image that appears on the monitor
screen.
Using Continuous Shutter
In addition to normal recording that records a single image
each time the shutter button is pressed, you can select one
of the five continuous shutter modes to record multiple
images.
• Normal-speed continuous shutter mode
You can continually record images until memory becomes
full.
• High-speed continuous shutter mode
Record up to three consecutive images at high speed.
• Flash continuous shutter mode
Use this mode to record up to three consecutive images,
firing the flash for each one.
• Zoom continuous shutter mode
In this mode, you can select an area on the monitor
screen with a selection boundary. Then when you press
the shutter button, the camera records the monitor screen
image and the area enclosed in the selection boundary,
digitally zoomed to twice its normal size.
• Multi continuous shutter mode
This mode records 25 consecutive stop-action shots at
high speed and combines them into a single image.
