U
Single (default setting)
One picture is shot each time shutter-release button is pressed.
V
Continuous
While the shutter-release button is held down, the camera shoots at a rate of about 0.9 frames
per second (fps) when image quality is set to
Normal
and image size is set to
N
4224×3168
.
D
BSS (Best Shot Selector)
BSS is recommended for shooting under low lighting without the flash, with the camera
zoomed in, or in other situations in which camera shake is likely to blur pictures.
When Best Shot Selector (BSS) is enabled, the camera shoots up to ten pictures while the
shutter-release button is held down. The sharpest picture (picture with the most detail) in the
series is automatically selected and saved.
Y
Continuous flash
While the shutter-release button is held down, continuous shooting is done using the built-in
flash (approximately 3 frames continuously in 0.8 seconds when image quality is set to
Normal
and image size is set to
N
4224×3168
).
Charge the built-in flash once continuous shooting ends. No shooting can be done until the
charging ends. Because ISO sensitivity is raised during shooting, pictures may be affected by
“noise” (randomly-spaced, brightly-colored dots).
W
Multi-shot 16
Each time shutter-release button is pressed, camera shoots 16 pictures
at about 1.1 frames per second and arranges them in a single picture
with image quality set to
Normal
and image size set to
D
2592×1944
.
X
Intvl timer shooting
Camera shoots (up to 1,800 frames) automatically at specified interval (
