CONTINUOUS SHOOTING
In this mode, when you keep the shutter button fully depressed, the camera
will take pictures continuously. At the time of continuous shooting the
number of frames per sec. is given below.
The maximum number of frames and speed of continuous shooting are as
follows:
Image Size (Resolution mode)
HI MED LOW
Image Quality
RAW
21
3.0
JPEG
21 21 21
3.0 3.0 3.0
The upper rows show the maximum number of frames, the lower rows show the
maximum shooting speed in continuous mode (frames per second).
CAUTION !!
When AF mode is set to AF (Single AF mode) mode and the focus
indicator in the viewfinder is on, focus distance and exposure value are fixed
at the setting for the first picture. It is possible that focus and exposure could
be incorrect, if subject moves or the brightness changes. When AF mode is
set to AF mode (Continuous AF mode), then camera will focus on the
subject continuously. However, depending on the subject situation, since the
shutter release has the first priority there is a possibility that the picture may
be out of focus.
When you use the continuous shooting mode with external flash, the camera
may be slow, because the camera will not take pictures, while the flash is
re-charging.
Images taken in rapid succession, such as during Continuous shooting, are
initially stored in the camera's internal memory buffer. This allows you to
continue shooting without having to wait for images to be recorded to the
card. Once the memory buffer is full, the shutter will be disabled until some
images have been transferred to the card.
