Shooting Features
Tips and Notes
d Sports
• While the shutter-release button is held all the way down, the camera shoots up to about 5
images continuously at a rate of about 6.7 fps (when Image mode is set to P 4608×3456).
• The frame rate for continuous shooting may vary depending upon the current image mode
setting, the memory card used, or shooting condition.
• Focus, exposure, and hue are fixed at the values determined with the first image in each series.
e Night portrait
• Raise the flash before shooting.
• From the screen displayed after e Night portrait is selected, select Y Hand-held or
Z Tripod.
• Y Hand-held (default setting):
- When the e icon at the top left of the monitor glows green, press the shutter-release button
all the way to capture a series of images which are combined into a single image and saved.
- Once the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, hold the camera still until a still image
is displayed. After taking an image, do not turn the camera off before the monitor switches to
the shooting screen.
- If the subject moves while the camera is shooting continuously, the image may be distorted,
overlapped, or blurred.
• Z Tripod:
- One image is captured at a slow shutter speed when the shutter-release button is pressed all
the way.
- Vibration reduction is disabled even when Photo VR (A 72) in the setup menu is set to On.
f Party/indoor
• To avoid the effects of camera shake, hold the camera steady. Set Photo VR to Off in the setup
menu (A 72) when using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting.
