Taking Pictures—Fine-Tuning Camera Settings
Taking Pictures in a Sequence: Continuous
The options in the “continuous” menu are used
to take pictures in a continuous sequence. This
can be useful when, for example, you are trying
to capture a fleeting expression on a portrait sub-
ject, or photograph a subject that is moving un-
predictably. With the Multi-Shot 16 option, you
can record movement in a single picture consist-
ing of sixteen consecutive frames.

Flash, Focus Exposure, and White Balance
At settings of Continuous and Multi-Shot 16, the flash turns off, and focus
distance, exposure, and auto white balance are determined by the first pic-
ture in each series.
Option Description
Camera takes one picture each time the shutter-re-
lease button is pressed all the way down.
Single
While the shutter-release button is held down, pic-
tures are recorded at a rate of about three frames ev-
ery two seconds. The camera will continue to take
pictures even when the memory buffer ( 29) is full,
although the rate at which pictures are recorded will
drop.
Continuous
Each time the shutter-release button is pressed, the
camera takes sixteen consecutive “thumbnail” imag-
es 400 × 300 pixels in size and combines them into a
collage measuring 1,600 × 1,200 pixels. This option
is only available when image size ( 62) is set to 1600.
Multi-Shot 16
At settings other than Single, the current “con-
tinuous” setting is indicated by an icon in the moni-
tor.
