Shooting a Burst Series of Pictures
With the Burst feature, you can take a series of separate, still pictures in quick
succession. The number of pictures you get in the series depends on your
Picture Quality setting (page 35). When you shoot with the Burst feature, the
built-in flash is turned off. However, an external flash is always active when
connected.
In the lowest Picture Quality setting, 0.8 MP (1080 x 720), you can take a
maximum of 16 pictures in sequence. With other settings, the maximum is
4 pictures.
NOTE: This setting is ideal for taking pictures of sporting events,
or for recording moving objects.
To shoot in Burst mode:
1
Select a capture mode on the Mode Dial.
2
Press the
button until the
icon appears in the Status Display.
3
Press the Shutter button half-way to lock the focus and exposure for all of
the pictures in the sequence.
4
Press and hold the Shutter button all the way down to take the pictures.
The camera beeps, then starts taking pictures until you release the Shutter
button, or until the Burst sequence is complete.
