SHOOTING A SNAPSHOT
Continuous Shutter Precautions
• Starting a continuous shutter operation causes the exposure
and focus settings to be fixed at the levels for the first image.
The same settings are applied to all subsequent images.
• Continuous shutter cannot be used in combination with any of
the following features.
– Face recognition
– Some BEST SHOT scenes (Layout, Auto Framing,
Business Cards and Documents, Whiteboard, etc., Old
Photo, ID Photo)
–Movie mode, MOVIE BEST SHOT mode, Voice Recording
mode
– “ Tracking” selected as the Auto Focus area (page
131)
• When using a continuous shutter mode, keep the camera still
until all recording is finished.
• A continuous shutter operation may stop part way through if
memory capacity runs low.
• The continuous shutter rate depends on the current image
size and image quality settings.
• You can select the flash mode you want with normal-speed
continuous shutter mode.
• With high-speed continuous shutter, the flash mode
automatically becomes “ ” (flash off).
• With the flash continuous shutter mode, the flash mode
automatically becomes “ ” (flash on).
• You cannot use the self-timer in combination with the normal-
speed continuous shutter mode or high-speed continuous
shutter mode.
• Note that the resolution of images recorded with the high-
speed continuous shutter mode or flash continuous shutter
mode is somewhat lower resolution and more prone to digital
noise than images recorded with the normal-speed
continuous shutter mode.
• “Auto” ISO sensitivity always is used for the high-speed
continuous shutter mode or flash continuous shutter mode,
regardless of the current ISO sensitivity setting.
• With the flash continuous shutter mode, the flash range is
narrower than normal.
