. CONTINUOUS SHOOTING

The release mode is normally set to Single-frame. Set the release mode to Continuous Shooting to
take sequential shots of moving subjects or to take a series of shots using Auto Exposure
Bracketing.

single clearly defined shot in each frame.

If you take a number of single-frame shots in rapid succession, the number of available shots is highlighted in the same
way as in continuous shooting. Once this happens, no further shots can be taken. Wait until the number of available shots
is no longer highlighted.
. CONTINUOUS SHOOTING
This mode allows you to take up to 12 consecutive shots by holding down the shutter button (Max.
2.5 frames/sec.).
h Once you have shot the maximum number of continuous frames, the number of available shots
shown on the rear display panel is highlighted. No further continuous shots can be taken at that
point. Wait until the number of available shots is no longer highlighted.

focus is not set in AF-S (Single-AF Servo) mode.

to obtain the correct exposure. Before pressing the shutter button, cover the eyepiece with your hand
or the eyepiece cap provided. To attach the eyepiece cap, remove the rubber eyecup and slide the
cap down over the eyepiece from above.
