Shooting with Multi-Shot
If you switch to Multi-Shot, you can shoot consecutive images.
This is convenient when you want to capture the moment.
There are three ways to shoot Multi-Shots, "CONT", "SCONT" and "MCONT".
CONT (Multi-Shot)
As long as you hold the shutter button down, pictures continue to be taken.
The still images are recorded one file each, just as in normal shooting.
SCONT (S Multi-Shot)
Shoots a continuous stream of images.
With just one full-press of the shutter, you can take 16 consecutive shots at 1/7.5 of a
second intervals (a span of about two seconds).
The 16 still images are grouped together as a set and are recorded as one image file.
MCONT (M Multi-Shot)
The camera memorizes the scene while you hold the Shutter Button down, and once you release it the previous two sec-
onds of shots are recorded. The 16 still images are grouped together as a set and are recorded as one image file.
If you release the shutter button within two seconds from the time you first pressed it, the shots from the time you pressed
the shutter until you released it will be recorded (the number of consecutive shots will be less than 16).

• The maximum number of images that can be shot in Multi-Shot mode depends on the image size and picture quality settings as fol-
lows:
• While shooting with Multi-Shot, the LCD Monitor display turns off. Compose your picture and secure it using a tripod, or use the View-
finder.
• When shooting in the S Multi-Shot or M Multi-Shot, the Picture Quality Mode and the Image Size Mode can be set to either F2048 or
N2048. In the CALS mode, however, the Picture Quality Mode and the Image Size of S Multi-Shot and M Multi-Shot are always set to
N2048.
• When using the Multi-Shot mode (except for S Multi-Shot and M Multi-Shot), shooting with sounds is not possible.
