Use the <5> (Sports) mode to shoot a moving subject, such as a
running person or a moving vehicle.
Use a telephoto lens.
Use of a telephoto lens is recommended for shooting from a
distance.
Track the subject with the Area AF frame.
Press the shutter button halfway to start autofocusing in Area AF
frame. During autofocusing, the beeper will continue beeping softly.
If focus cannot be achieved, the focus indicator <o> will blink.
The default setting is <o> (High-speed continuous shooting*). At
the decisive moment, press the shutter button completely to take the
picture. If you keep holding down the shutter button, you can shoot
continuously while maintaining autofocusing to capture changes in
the subject’s movement.

approx. 4.5 shots/sec.

Shooting Tips
The built-in flash will not fire even in backlit or low-light conditions.
Under low light where camera shake tends to occur, the viewfinder’s
shutter speed display on the bottom left will blink. Hold the camera
steady and shoot.
If you are using an external Speedlite, the Speedlite will fire.
