button is pressed.
While shutter-release button is held down, camera records
1–7 frames per second.
Custom Setting d5 (CL mode shooting speed, 0 276).
While shutter-release button is held down, camera records
up to 7 frames per second.
As for single-frame except that beep does not sound when
camera focuses regardless of setting selected for Custom
Setting d1 (Beep; 0 275) and noise made by camera after
shooting (from moment following shutter release to point
finger is removed from shutter-release button, when mirror
is lowered) is kept to minimum, making this mode less
noisy than single-frame.
Use self-timer for self-portraits or to reduce blurring caused
by camera shake (0 91).
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 (0 93).
