UHS CONTINUOUS-ADVANCE MOVIES
Used for self-portraits, the self-timer will delay the release of the shutter for
approximately ten seconds after the shutter is released. The self-timer is set with the
function dial (p. 44).
With the camera on a tripod, compose the picture as described in the
basic operation section (p. 31). Focus lock (p.32) or the Flex Focus Point
(p. 75) can be used with off-center subjects . Press the shutter-release
button partway down (1) to lock the exposure and focus.
Press the shutter-release button all the way down (2) to
begin the countdown. Because focus and exposure are
determined when the shutter-release button is pressed,
do not stand in front of the camera when taking a self-
timer image. Always confirm the focus with the focus
signals before beginning the countdown (p. 33).
During the countdown, the self-timer lamp on the front
of the camera will start to blink and is accompanied by
an audio signal. A few seconds before the exposure, the self-
timer lamp will blink rapidly. The lamp will glow steadily just
before the shutter fires. To stop the countdown, press the
pro-auto button or change the position of the flash (lift it or
push it down). The audio signal can be turned off in the basic
section of the setup menu (p. 124).

ECORDING MODE
The self-timer can be used to minimize camera shake with long exposures. When using the
camera on a tripod, photographs of static subjects (landscapes, still-lifes, or close-up pho-
tographs) can be made with the self-timer. Because no contact is made with the camera during
exposure, there is no risk of camera shake caused by the operator.
Shooting tips
UHS continuous-advance mode allows a series of 1280 X 960 images to be captured
at a rate of approximately 7 frames per second; image size is changed to 640 X 480
when the digital zoom is used. The number of images that can be captured at one time
depends on the image-quality setting: fine - 15 frames, standard - 31 frames, and
economy - 39 frames; the number of frames increases with the use of the digital zoom.
This mode cannot be used with super-fine or RAW images (p. 84), flash illumination, or
Digital Subject Programs. If image quality is set to RAW or super fine before selecting
the drive mode, it is reset to standard. Shutter speeds slower than 1/8th of a second
cannot be used. If the low battery power indicator (p. 27) appears, the shutter cannot
be released. The UHS continuous-advance mode is set with the function dial (p. 44).
When the shutter-release button is pressed and held, the camera will begin
recording images until the maximum number has been taken or the shutter
button is released.
Compose the picture as described in the basic operation section
(p. 31). Press the shutter-release button partway down (1) to lock
the exposure and focus for the series. Press and hold the shutter-
release button all the way down (2) to begin taking pictures. Very
bright light sources in the image may cause streaking. A recorded
image may show black areas caused by a loss of data. After the
series is captured, the monitor will remain blank white the images
are saved.

By turning on the UHS movie function in the custom 1 section of the recording-mode
menu, a separate VGA (640 X 480) movie file with audio will be created automatically
from the captured still images. When the function is active, the movie cam-
era icon is displayed next to the UHS continuous-advance indicator on the
monitors. The time required to make the movie file is approximately equal
to the recording time, the monitor will be blank and the access lamp will
glow during that period. The shutter sound effect is disabled.
