.Shooting Images
1.Half-press the shutter button.
This will cause the camera to start pre-recording images.
• The camera will not emit a shutter sound when you half-press the shutter 
button while Prerecord CS is selected.
• If you release the half-pressed shutter button before pressing it the rest of the 
way down, all of the pre-recorded images currently in the buffer will be deleted.
2.When you are ready to shoot, press the shutter button the rest of the 
way down.
This will record the images in the pre-record buffer and start recording new 
images in real-time. Images continue to be shot as long as you keep the shutter 
button depressed.
3.Real-time shooting will stop when you release the shutter button or 
after the maximum number of shots is reached.
NOTE
• Note the following when selecting a High Speed CS speed (fps) setting.
– Use a higher High Speed CS speed (fps) setting when shooting a fast-moving 
subject.
– Use a slower High Speed CS speed (fps) setting when shooting a slower-moving 
subject.
• Note the following when selecting a High Speed CS maximum number of shots 
setting.
– The greater the number of shots, the longer it takes to save them after shooting 
is complete.
• Note the following when specifying a Prerecord CS shots setting.
– A setting that results in a Prerecord CS operation that takes at least 0.3 seconds 
is recommended because there is a minimal lag from about 0.1 seconds to 
0.3 seconds between the point you decide to shoot and the point that the shutter 
button is fully depressed.

Due to the characteristics of the CMOS imaging element, shooting fast-moving 
subjects with High Speed CS may cause the subject to become distorted. If this 
happens, try shooting with F CS (Full pixels Continuous Shutter), which uses the 
mechanical shutter only and eliminates the problems caused by the CMOS imaging 
element characteristics. Note that the following settings are available when shooting 
with F CS. 
CS Speed (frames per second): 3 fps, 5 fps, 10 fps
Maximum Number of Shots: 5, 10, 20, 30
Also, note that F CS does not support Prerecord CS.

• You can use the Manual Mode while a continuous shutter mode (High Speed CS, 
F CS) is selected. To do so, set the mode dial to “A”, “S”, or “M”.
• When shooting CS images, the snapshot image quality automatically changes to 
“Normal”.
• 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 remaining capacity before shooting with using

(Flash Off).
• Shooting with this function makes the shooting range narrower than normal.
• If one or more of the faces are blurred in all of the images that are shot, they will be 
blurred in the final image as well.
• The following conditions may make it impossible for the camera to determine if the 
subject is blinking or smiling. This may result in a final image in which the subject is 
blinking or not smiling.
– Faces that are partially or completely darkened by shadows, etc.
– Hair that is hiding or near the eyes
– Eye glasses
– Small faces
– Faces that are not looking directly at the camera

With Slide Panorama, you move the camera to compose 
and record multiple images, which are then combined to a 
panorama. This feature lets you shoot a panorama of up to 
360 degrees, which is dramatically greater than the physical 
capabilities of the lens.
• The final panorama image can be one of the two sizes shown below.
Slide Direction is Right or Left: Maximum 11520
x1080 pixels
Slide Direction is Up or Down: Maximum 1920x7296 pixels
• Zoom operations are not supporting during Slide Panorama shooting. The zoom 
setting is fixed at full wide angle.
• You can use Slide Panorama to shoot a horizontal image up to approximately 360 
degrees and a vertical image up to approximately 180 degrees. 
If you shoot a horizontal Slide Panorama image that is less than 360 degrees, the 
image size will become 60, 120, 180, 240, or 300 degrees.
1.In the REC mode, set the mode dial to s (Slide Panorama).
2.Press [SET] and then use [8] and [2] to select the fifth Control Panel 
option from the bottom (Slide Direction).
3.Use [4] and [6] to select the direction you are planning to move the 
camera while shooting, and then press [SET].
You can select one of four directions: Right, Left, Up, or Down.
4.Point the camera at the start of the panorama and half-press the 
shutter button to allow the camera to focus automatically.
5.Press the shutter button the rest of the way down 
and a slide cursor will appear on the monitor 
screen. Slowly move the camera in the direction 
indicated by the arrow on the screen until the 
slide cursor reaches the other end of its 
movement range (i.e. all the way to the right 
when moving the camera to the right).
• The camera will start composing the panorama image 
internally when the slide cursor reached the other end 
of the movement range.
• Image composing also will start automatically if you stop moving the camera 
during panorama shooting. After you stop moving the camera, the message 
“Busy... Please wait...” appears as the camera processes the image. Wait until 
this message disappears before using the camera. Image shooting is disabled 
while the message is displayed.

NOTE
• The following conditions are not compatible with Slide Panorama shooting.
– Subject whose brightness is very different from that of its surroundings due to 
artificial light, sunlight, etc.
– Rivers, waves, waterfalls, or other subject with constantly changing patterns
– Sky, beach, or other subject with continuous patterns
– Camera too close to the main subject
– Moving subject
• Slide Panorama may stop part way through in the following cases.
– Subject or camera movement
– Camera movement that is too fast or too slow
• Shooting a Slide Panorama image after half-pressing the shutter button to perform 
Auto Focus may not produce the desired results if there are considerable 
differences in the brightness, color, and/or focus of the individual images. If this 
happens, try changing the focus position by focusing on a different subject, etc.
• Since a Slide Panorama image is created by joining multiple images together, there 
may be some roughness at the point where two images are joined.
• Shooting under a flickering light source (such as fluorescent lighting) may result in 
uneven brightness and/or coloring in the final Slide Panorama image.
• Shooting in dark surroundings may result in a blurred image or may make Slide 
Panorama shooting impossible.
• Slowly move the camera at a constant speed in the same direction as the arrow 
that appears on the monitor screen.
• When moving the camera, try to keep the arrow on the monitor screen as straight 
as possible.
• The exposure and white balance when shooting Slide Panorama images are fixed 
at the levels measured when you half-press the shutter button at the beginning of 
the operation.
• An error message will appear if the camera is unable to successfully record a 
series of images.
• If you shoot a moving subject, the camera may not be able to compose the 
panorama image properly.
• Shooting with this function causes the flash setting to change automatically to ? 
(Flash Off).
