Top 4-frame Continuous Shooting
In this mode, you can shoot up to 4 frames at
intervals as short as 0.3 seconds. When you take
the shots, the photographed images are displayed
and automatically recorded.
k
Final 4-frame Continuous Shooting
Continuous shooting (at a minimum interval of 0.3
seconds) starts when you press the shutter button
and the camera captures the last 4 frames shot
immediately before you release the shutter button.
If the maximum of 25 shutter operations is reached,
the last 4 frames are captured.
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.

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, use AF lock to focus on point B beforehand and then lock the focus so that it does
not shift (lock pin).
The lock pin feature is also useful for photographing fast-moving subjects that are difficult to focus on.
The self-timer lamp lights steadily for roughly 5
seconds and then blinks for another 5 seconds,
after which the shot is taken.
A countdown is displayed on the LCD monitor
indicating the time remaining until the picture is
taken.
Self-timer mode is automatically cancelled after
each shot.
