1–5 frames per second.

Frame pictures in monitor (pg. 89). Recommended at high
or low angles or in other situations in which viewfinder is
hard to use or when enlarged view in monitor can assist in
obtaining very precise focus.
Use self-timer for self-portraits or to reduce blurring caused
by camera shake (pg. 102).
Choose this mode to minimize camera shake in telephoto
or close-up photography or in other situations in which the
slightest camera movement can result in blurred
photographs (pg. 104).
