(1) Setting the shot mode (still image)
You can select [SINGLE] (captures a single image at one time) or [CONT.] (captures sequential images using the interval
timer) as the shot mode. To do this:
1 Display the [CAMERA MENU: SHOT/REC] screen.
2 Tap [STILL IMAGE SETTING].
3 Select the shot mode.
If you select [CONT.], the [No. of SHOTS] and [INTERVAL]
buttons appear on the [STILL IMAGE SETTING] screen.
4 If the mode you selected is [CONT.], tap [No. of SHOTS] to
set the number of shots to be taken, and tap [INTERVAL]
to set the shot interval.
5 Tap [OK].
Starting and stopping consecutive capture
 To start consecutive capture, tap [CAPTURE] in the
LIVE menu.
 While consecutive capture is in progress, the label of
the [CAPTURE] button changes to [STOP]. To stop
consecutive capture before it finishes, tap [CAPTURE]
("STOP") again. For details, refer to "8.1.3 (1)
Performing consecutive capture with the interval
timer".
Information displayed during consecutive capture
During consecutive capture, the information about the
number of shots is displayed in [CAMERA MENU] and
the information window.
 For example, if the number of shots is 10 and the
fifth shot is taken, "5/10" is displayed.
The number of additional shots that can be taken is
displayed, based on the amount of free space on the
storage destination drive. Note that this is an
approximate value because the image data size differs
depending on the subject. Also note that this value is
not displayed while an image is replayed or for image
data stored in a network drive.
