Shooting in Scene Mode
d Sports
Use this mode for dynamic action shots that freeze the action
in a single shot and record motion in a series of pictures.
• The camera focuses continuously until focus is locked by
pressing the shutter-release button halfway.
• While the shutter-release button is held down, pictures are
taken at rate of up to about 1.2 frames per second (fps)
when image mode is set to i Normal (3648). This rate is
maintained for up to 6 pictures.
• The maximum frame rate with continuous shooting may
vary depending upon the current image mode setting and
the memory card used.
