Taking Photographs—Choosing a Shooting Mode

Choosing a Shooting Mode

Single Frame, Continuous, Self-Timer, or Remote Control

Shooting mode determines how the camera takes pho to graphs: one at a
time, in a continuous sequence, with a timed shutter-release delay, or using
a remote control.

Camera takes one photograph each time shutter release button is
pressed. Access lamp will light while photo is recorded; next shot can
be taken immediately if enough space remains in memory buffer.

Single

frame

Description

Mode

Shutter release controlled using optional ML-L3 remote. Camera
focuses when shutter-release button on ML-L3 is pressed; shutter is
released after 2 s delay (

107). Gives operator time to pose when

taking self-portrait using remote control.

Delayed

remote

Shutter release controlled using optional ML-L3 remote. When shut-
ter-release button on ML-L3 is pressed, camera releases shutter imme-
diately after focusing (

107). Ensures quick shutter response; can be

used to reduce blurring caused by camera shake.

Quick-

response

remote

Camera records photographs at up to about three frames per second

while shut ter-re lease but ton is held down.

Continuous

Use self-timer for self-portraits or to reduce blurring caused by camera
shake (

105).

Self-timer

* Average frame rate in mode M with manual focus,

shutter speed of ½

s or faster, noise reduction off,

and memory re main ing in memory buffer. Number
of pictures that can be stored in buffer depends on
options selected for image quality and size (see table
at right). Additional photographs can be taken as
soon as enough memory is available in buffer.

Note that all pictures taken in continuous mode are
recorded at the orientation for the fi rst picture in each
series, even if the camera orientation is changed dur-
ing shooting. For example, if the fi rst picture is taken
with the camera in horizontal orientation, all pictures
in the series will be recorded in “wide” (landscape)
orientation, even if the camera is rotated to vertical
orientation during shooting.
