place the camera on a stable surface and use the self-timer to take pictures. (

place the camera on a stable surface and use the self-timer to take pictures.

Thhis camera is capable of taking continuous shots at up to approx. 3.3 frames per second.
This feature is useful for photographing moving subjects and for situations where you do not
want to miss a snapshot opportunity.
• For self-portrait shooting, the shooting speed is set to approx. 2 frames per second.
• The number of continuous shots that can be taken varies depending on the capacity of the
memory card in the camera.
• Continuous shooting stops when the memory card is full of recorded images.
• The exposure and focus are not reset during continuous shooting. The continuous shots are
all taken using the exposure and focus set immediately before continuous shooting began.
• The speed at which data is written to a memory card varies according to the type of card used.
• If you use an SD memory card that is intended for high-speed recording (an SD memory card
with a write speed of 10 MB/sec. or faster), you can use continuous shooting to shoot at
approx. 3.3 frames per second until the memory card is full.
