d Sports
Use this mode for dynamic action shots that freeze the action in
a single shot and record motion in a series of pictures.
While the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the
camera focuses continuously until focus is acquired and
locked.
While shutter-release button is held down, pictures are taken at rate of about 1.3 frames
per second (fps) when image mode is set to y Normal (3264) in L18 or when image
mode is set to d Normal (3072) in L16. This rate is maintained for up to 2 pictures.
The maximum frame rate with continuous shooting may vary depending upon the
current image mode setting and the memory card used.
