Final 4-frame continuous shooting
This mode allows you to release the shutter up to
25 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
25 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 pictures
taken just before the Shutter button was released
as will fit on the xD-Picture Card.

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.
Focus on and lock the focus.
