Shooting – The Basics

Continuous Shooting

Use this mode to shoot successive frames
while the shutter button is pressed.

Press

( on the omni

selector) as necessary so that

appears on the LCD monitor.

Press the shutter button halfway
to lock the focus.

Press the shutter button all the
way to shoot.

Shooting will stop when the shutter button is
released.

The shooting speed is approximately 1.3 frames
per second (Large/Fine, LCD monitor off).

* These figures reflect Canon’s testing standard.

The actual figures will vary according to the
shooting conditions and settings.

Shooting Mode

If internal memory becomes full, intervals
between shots may lengthen slightly.

If you are using the flash, shots are
taken more slowly to allow time for the
flash to recharge.
