With High-speed Continuous Shutter (CS), images continue to be shot as long as you 
keep the shutter button depressed. You can  specify a CS speed of one to 60 images 
per second, and even change the speed whil e CS image recording is in progress.

• You also can use the control dial to  set the CS speed upper limit. You can use 
the control dial to ensure that the CS speed can only go up to the level that 
suits your needs.
• The number of continuous shutter shots you can  record and the approximate time in seconds that 
it will take to shoot all of the shots are indicated 
on the display.
Using High-speed Continuous Shutter
AUTO-N This setting allows CS recording to
 continue as long as memory is 
available. The camera measures li ght levels and configures the CS 
speed setting automatically.
AUTO-H Records up to 60 CS images. The camera measures light levels 
and configures the fastest 
possible CS speed setting 
automatically. The upper limit of the speed is the CS speed 
currently selected with the control dial.
1 to 60 fps Enables specification of the num
ber of CS images recorded per 
second. Up to 60 CS images can be recorded per second.

5.Hold down the shutter button to shoot.
Images continue to be shot as long as you keep the shutter button depressed. 
Releasing the shutter button stops shooting. • When “AUTO-N” is selected  as the CS speed, you can 
continue recording until the 
memory card becomes full. 
When any other CS speed 
setting is selected, recording 
will stop automatically after a 
maximum of 60 images are 
recorded, even if you keep the shutter button depressed.
• When “CS fps” is selected for “Ring Setup” (page 85), you can use the function  ring to change the CS speed while image recording is in progress.
6.Save the CS images (page 58).
When you half-press the shutter button while Slow Motion View is selected, the

Up to two seconds worth of pre-recorded im ages are in memory at one time, with the 
older images deleted automatically as new ones  are stored. Fully pressing the shutter 
button will save the pre-recorded images.  This mode lets you view the pre-recorded 
images in slow motion, and perform final recording when the image you want 
appears. You can specify one of eight  playback speeds for pre-recorded images.
1.In the REC mode, set the mode dial to  t (Auto).
2.Set the CS dial to  º (Slow Motion View).

are played back in reverse sequence and then saved. 
						

							
59Snapshot Tutorial
Select & Save
After continuous shutter shooting is finished, the shot images are played back 
at slow speed so you can select the images you want to save. • Images shot with Prerecord (Still Image) (page 50) are played back 
automatically in reverse sequence,  and then played slowly in forward 
sequence. Images recorded with other CS  modes are played back in forward 
sequence.
• When you shooting with Prerecord (Sti ll Image), the first image saved when 
you press the shutter all the way is indicated by an “ S” mark so you can tell 
where the continuous shutter operation started.
1While the shot images are playing back and an 
image appears that you want to save, press the 
shutter button. Each image that you select by 
pressing the shutter button will have a mark 
appended to it.
2After selecting all of the images you want to save, 
press [ 8].

5.Press [SET] to apply the setting.
• If there is not enough available capacity on the memory card, you may not be able 
to record the number of CS images indicated on the monitor screen. Make sure 
your memory card has sufficient remain ing capacity before shooting with using 
continuous shutter.
• With continuous shutter, exposure and focus for the first image are applied for 
successive images as well.
• Continuous shutter cannot be used in co mbination with any of the following.
Movie Mode, some BEST SHOT scenes (Digital Anti Shake, Move Out CS, Move 
In CS, Digital Panning)
• When using a continuous shutter mode, k eep the camera still until shooting is 
finished.
• In the Prerecord (Still image) and  High-speed CS modes, the flash setting 
automatically becomes  ? (flash off).
• Zoom is disabled during cont inuous shutter operations.
• Automatic noise reduction at slow shu tter speeds is not performed when shooting 
with Bracketing CS.
• When the High-speed CS speed setting is anything other than “AUTO-N”, the  maximum number of images per continuous s hutter session is limited for Prerecord 
(Still image), Flash CS, and Bracketing, ev en if there is memory card capacity 
available to store more images.
The number of images will be restricted ev en further or shooting may be impossible 
when remaining memory card capacity is  less than the allowable number of images 
for a particular CS mode.
• The Flash CS mode switches between the fl ash and the LED light automatically in 
accordance with the CS speed. You cannot switch between the flash and the LED 
light manually. In the Flash CS mode, either  the flash or the LED light will fire 
whenever an image is shot.
