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 the exposure is
adjusted for the scene being shot.

This mode allows you to release the shutter up to
40 times (max. 2.2 frames/sec.) and record the last
3 frames. If you take your finger off the shutter
button before 40 shots have been taken, the
camera records the final 3 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.

Continuous shooting and flash
◆
When a Continuous shooting mode is selected, the flash mode is forcibly set to “v” Suppressed flash.
However, when the mode is changed back to normal photography, the flash setting specified before
continuous shooting was selected is restored.
◆
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.
