Changing the setting (exposure range)
This mode allows you to release the shutter up to
40 times (at intervals as short as 0.3 seconds) and
record the last 4 frames. If you take your finger off
the shutter button before 40 shots have been
taken, the camera records the final 4 frames shot
before you released the shutter button.
If there is insufficient space on the xD-Picture
Card, the camera records as many of the shots
taken just before the shutter button was released
as will fit on the xD-Picture Card.
k Final 4-frame continuous shooting
Available Photography mode:
This mode shoots the same image with different

the photography menu.

Focusing on a moving subject
If you press the shutter button down halfway to focus on the subject at the starting point A, the subject
may no longer be in focus when it reaches point B where you want to take the shot.
In such situations, focus on point B beforehand and then lock the focus so that it does not shift.
This feature is also useful for photographing fast-moving subjects that are difficult to focus on.

Quality and flash
When a Continuous shooting mode is selected, the flash mode is forcibly set to “v” Suppressed flash.
In a Long-period continuous shooting with 1600 × 1200 pixels mode, the quality is also forcibly set to
2”.
However, when the mode is changed back to normal photography, the flash setting specified before
continuous shooting was selected is restored. Likewise, when a Long-period continuous shooting with
1600 × 1200 pixels mode has been used, the quality setting is restored to its previous value.
