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, first focus on point B to be photographed and then lock the focus so that it does not
change when the picture is taken (lock pin).
The lock pin 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 1280 × 960-pixel mode, the quality is also forcibly set to “
1”.
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
1280 × 960-pixel mode has been used, the quality setting is also restored to its previous value.
In this mode, you can shoot up to 5 frames at
intervals as short as 0.2 seconds. When you take
the shots, the photographed images are displayed
(in sequence from the left) and automatically
recorded.

The maximum file recording time is 4.2 seconds (for 5-frame
continuous shooting).
