Notes on using the Continuous shooting modes
◆
h Shooting continues for as long as you hold down the Shutter button. In Auto bracketing mode
however, just press the Shutter button once to shoot 3 frames.
h If there is insufficient space on the xD-Picture Card, as many frames are shot as can be recorded on
the available space. For auto bracketing however, if there is insufficient space on the media to record
3 frames, no shots are taken.
h The focus is determined in the first frame and cannot be changed in mid-sequence.
h The exposure is determined in the first frame, but in Long-period continuous shooting with 1280 ×
960-pixel mode the exposure is automatically adjusted for the scene being shot.
h The speed of continuous shooting varies depending on the shutter speed.
h The speed of continuous shooting does not change with the number of recorded pixels.
h The flash cannot be used as the Flash mode is set to Suppressed flash.
h For continuous shooting, final 5-frame continuous shooting and shots taken using auto bracketing,
the results are always displayed after you shoot. To choose whether or not to record the images, set
“IMAGE DISP.” in SET–UP to “ON” (➡P.74). Note that shots taken using Long-period continuous
shooting are recorded regardless of the setting in SET–UP.
