Serial exposures

You can not only take single pictures - by setting the main switch
(16) to ( (single) - but also series of pictures, by setting the main
S
switch to C (continuous), e.g. to capture sequences of movement
in several stages.
Apart from operation of the shutter button (17), series of pictures
are taken in the same way as single pictures: A series of pictures is
taken for as long as you hold down the shutter button (provided
that the memory card has suffi cient capacity). If you only press it
briefl y, the camera continues to take single pictures.
A maximum of around 3 frames per second can be produced. At
least the fi rst 16 of these are taken in rapid succession, after
which the image frequency is reduced slightly.

Notes:
• The specifi ed picture frequency and the maximum possible
number of pictures in a series relate to a default setting –
and format. The frequency and number may be
200 JPEG fine
lower when using diff erent settings or depending on the memory
card used.
• Regardless of how many pictures have been taken in a series,
both review modes (see p. 206) initially show the last picture in
the series or the last picture in the series saved on the currently
active card, if not all of the pictures in the series have been
transferred from the internal buff er memory to the relevant card
yet.
