Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu
Qh
Continuous
Capture motion in a series of pictures and apply Best Shot Selector (BSS). When
[Continuous], [BSS], or [Multi-shot 16] is selected, the flash will be disabled. At
settings other than [Intvl timer shooting], focus, exposure and white balance are
fixed at the values for the first picture in each series.
BSS
Single (default setting)
One picture is shot each time shutter-release button is pressed.
Continuous
While the shutter-release button is held down, up to 5 pictures are shot at a rate of
about 1.0 frames per second (fps) when image quality is set to [~~~ Normal] and
image size is set to
[~4000x3000].
BSS
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.
Continuous flash
While the shutter-release button is held down, the camera shoots three flash
pictures, at up to 1.0 fps, when image quality is set to
[~~~
Normal] and image size is
set to
[~4000x3000].
Once shooting ends, no additional pictures can be shot until
built-in flash has charged. Because ISO sensitivity is raised during shooting, pictures
may be affected by "noise" (randomly-spaced, brightly-colored dots).
Multi-shot 16
Each time shutter-release button is pressed, camera shoots
16 pictures at about 1.0 frames per second and arranges
them in a single picture with image quality is set to
[~~~ Normal] and image size is set to [~ 2592x1944].
Digital zoom cannot be applied.
At an [ISO sensitivity]
(~
99) setting of [3200], the [Multi-shot
16] option is not available.
When shooting with the [Multi-shot 16] option, select options other than [3200] for
[ISO sensitivity] and select [Multi-shot 16] for [Continuous].
Intvl timer shooting
Camera shoots (up to 1,800 frames) automatically at specified interval
(~
103).
At settings other than [Single], the indicator for the current setting is displayed in
the monitor (rlj 6).
