Taking Pictures
Using the continuous shooting feature
You can use the continuous shooting feature to break down
a complex motion into photos containing a series of easy-
to-see steps. You can also use it to take a number of
consecutive pictures and then choose the ones that you like
best. When the image quality is set to Standard, you can take
almost two photos per second, up to approximately 37
photos. When Fine is selected, you can take almost one
photo per second, up to approximately seven photos. When
Super Fine is selected, you can take one photo per second,
up to approximately three photos.
Note:
❏
When using the continuous shooting feature, you
cannot use the flash or select the HyPict or TIFF image
quality settings.
❏
You cannot make an audio recording while using the
continuous shooting feature.
❏
Settings made in other dial positions remain effective
when you use the continuous shooting feature. Before
using the continuous shooting feature, turn the dial
switch to the appropriate position and make your
settings.
Follow these steps to take pictures using the continuous
shooting feature.
1. Remove the lens cap, set the dial switch to , and turn

2. Press the Mode Change button. A red frame appears

3. If necessary, adjust the image quality and activate the
self timer using the buttons on the top of the camera.
The self timer creates a ten second delay between the
time you press the shutter button and the moment the
actual image is captured.
4. Depress the shutter button halfway to lock the focus,
then depress it fully and hold it down to begin taking a
series of photos.
5. Release the shutter button to stop taking pictures.
Using the time lapse feature
You can use the time lapse feature to take pictures
automatically at a preset time interval. Use this feature
creatively to capture scenes that change over time, such as
sunsets, plant life, or a busy street corner. The time interval
can be set from ten seconds to 24 hours.
