Notes on Using the Continuous Shooting Modes
◆
h Shooting continues for as long as you hold down the shutter button.
h If there is insufficient space on the media, as many frames are shot as can be recorded on the
available space.
h The focus is determined in the first frame and cannot be changed in mid-sequence.
h In “Top 4-frame Continuous Shooting” or “Final 4-frame Continuous Shooting” mode, the
exposure is set when the first frame is shot. In “Long-period Continuous Shooting with 1280 ×
960-pixel” mode, the exposure automatically changes to suit the scene being shot.
h The speed of continuous shooting does not change with the quality mode.
h The flash cannot be used as the flash mode is set to Suppressed Flash.
h With the exception of Long-period continuous shooting with 1280
× 960-pixel mode, the
photographed images are always displayed. To select and record images, select “IMAGE
DISPLAY” in the ”SET-UP” menu “PREVIEW” setting (➡P.68).

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.

Quality and flash
◆
When a continuous shooting mode is selected, the flash mode is forcibly set to “b” 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.
