.
Single-frame advance - to take a single image each time the shutter-
release button is pressed.
Continuous advance - to take multiple images when the shutter-
release button is pressed and held.
Self-timer - to delay the release of the shutter. Used for self-portraits.
Bracketing - to take a series of images with differing exposure, con-
trast, saturation, and color.
Interval - to take a series of images over a period of time.
UHS continuous advance - to take multiple 1280 X 960 images at
approximately 7 frames per second.
All icons have been
shown for clarity. The
single-frame advance
and continuous advance

CONTINUOUS ADVANCE
Continuous-advance mode allows a series of images to be captured while holding
down the shutter-release button. Continuous advance acts like a motor drive on a film
camera. The number of images that can be captured at one time depends on the
image-quality and image-size setting. The maximum rate of capture is 2 fps with full-
size images with manual focus in manual-exposure mode. The continuous-advance
mode is set with the function dial (p. 44).
When the shutter-release button is pressed and held, the camera will begin recording
images until the maximum number has been taken or the shutter button is released.
This mode cannot be used with super-fine or RAW image (p. 84). If image quality is set
to RAW or super fine before selecting the drive mode, it is reset to standard. The built-
in flash can be used, but the rate of capture is reduced because the flash must
recharge between frames. The following chart lists the maximum number of images
that can be
captured with
different image-
quality and
image-size
combinations.
Compose the picture as described in the basic operation section (p. 31).
Press the shutter-release button partway down (1) to lock the exposure
LCD monitor
and focus for the series; if the autofocus mode is set to continuous AF,
the lens will continually focus during the series (p. 81). Press and hold
the shutter-release button all the way down (2) to begin taking pictures.
