Shooting Features
I Take a series of pictures
• The camera captures a series of still images that allow you to clearly see detailed movements in
a moving subject.
• While the shutter-release button is held all the way down, the camera shoots up to 11 images
continuously at a rate of about 4.7 frames per second (fps) (when Choose a size > Photo size
is set to D Large (13 megapixels)).
• The frame rate for continuous shooting may vary depending upon the current photo size
setting, the memory card used, or shooting condition.
• Focus, exposure, and hue are fixed at the values determined with the first image in each series.
• The flash setting is fixed at y Flash off (A 31).
• The self-timer is not available (A 33).
K Photograph fireworks
• The shutter speed is fixed at about four seconds.
• The flash setting is fixed at y Flash off (A 31).
• The self-timer is not available (A 33).
E Shoot backlit scenes
• When taking images with very bright and dark areas in the same frame, such as backlit scenes,
the high dynamic range (HDR) compositing is applied and loss of details in highlights or
shadows is minimized.
• When the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, the camera shoots images continuously
at high speed, and saves the following two images.
- A non-HDR composite image
- An HDR composite image in which the loss of details in highlights or shadows is minimized
• If there is only enough memory to save one image, an image processed at the time of shooting,
in which dark areas of the image are corrected, is the only image saved.
• Once the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, hold the camera still until a still image is
displayed. After taking an image, do not turn the camera off before the monitor switches to the
shooting screen.
• The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved image is narrower than that
seen in the monitor at the time of shooting.
• The flash setting is fixed at y Flash off (A 31).
• The self-timer can be set, but Y Smile timer is not available (A 33, 35).
