CAUTION !!
•
When AF mode is set to AF
(Single AF mode) mode and the focus
indicator in the viewfinder is on, focus distance and exposure value are fixed
at the setting for the first picture. It is possible that focus and exposure could
be incorrect, if subject moves or the brightness changes. When AF mode is
set to AF
mode (Continuous AF mode), then camera will focus on the
subject continuously. However, depending on the subject situation, since the
shutter release has the first priority there is a possibility that the picture may
be out of focus.
•
When you use the continuous shooting mode with external flash, the camera
may be slow, because the camera will not take pictures, while the flash is
re-charging.
•
Images taken in rapid succession, such as during Continuous shooting, are
initially stored in the camera's internal memory buffer. This allows you to
continue shooting without having to wait for images to be recorded to the CF
card. Once the memory buffer is full, the shutter will be disabled until some
images have been transferred to the CF card.
SELF TIMER
When you want to include yourself in the picture or avoid camera shake, please
use the self-timer.
When you set the self-timer to 10s, then the shutter will be released 10seconds
after you fully press the shutter button.
When you set the self-timer to 2s, then the shutter will be released 2seconds
after you fully press the shutter button.
