: Sport mode (continuous shooting)
This mode uses exposure control with a fast
shutter speed setting to freeze your subject
in a moment of rapid movement and allow
you to take shots of sporting events that
capture the feeling of fast-paced action.
Recommended lens: The most effective
lenses for this mode are telephoto lenses in
the 80 to 300 mm range.
• In Sport mode, the focusing mode switches
to continuous AF servo without focus lock so that the camera focus tracks
the movements of your subject. Also, if “PREVIEW” (
☞
P.49) is set to “OFF”,
the camera shoots pictures continuously for as long as the shutter button is
held down. The maximum number of continuous frames is 5.
• The shutter will not release if the number of available shots is highlighted.
n
: Night scene mode
This mode uses exposure control that is
tailored to dimly lit subjects and allows you to
effectively capture beautiful evening or night
scenes.
Also, when you are shooting people against
an evening backdrop, you can use the flash
to capture both your subjects and the
background as they appear naturally.
Lenses from wide-angle through to telephoto
can be used in this mode.
• In some photography conditions care is needed to avoid camera shake since
a slow shutter speed may be used. (A tripod should be used in such
situations.)
Shooting Using 5-Vari Programs - continued
Using continuous shooting when the number of remaining frames
displayed is small
If you use continuous shooting when the number of remaining frames displayed
is small, a warning beep may sound and the number of remaining frames
displayed may show 0 even when the number of shots taken is fewer than the
number of shots displayed when continuous shooting began.
