While shutter-release button is held down, pictures are recorded at
rate of about 3 frames every 2 seconds (rate of shooting will slow
when icon is displayed). Focus, exposure, and white balance are
determined by fi rst shot in each series. Camera focuses continuously, even when
shutter-release button is not pressed.
Shutter-release button can be pressed in one motion without paus-
ing halfway to check focus. Use at ranges of 3 m (9´10˝) or more
when subject is moving unpredictably, leaving you no time to com-
pose pictures. Camera focuses continuously, even when shutter-release button is
not pressed.
Each time shutter-release button is pressed, camera takes 16 shots in
about two seconds and arranges them in four rows to form a single
picture. Focus, exposure, and white balance are determined by fi rst
shot in each series.
