Using the Burst setting
Burst allows you to take two or more pictures as quickly as possible when you press and
hold the Shutter button all the way down.
1.
While in Live View, press to display the Capture Menu, use to highlight
Burst, press , use to select On, press , then press . For
more details on selecting options in the Capture Menu, see Using the Capture Menu
on page 23 .
2. Frame the subject, then press the Shutter button halfway down to lock the focus
and exposure. Then press the Shutter button all the way down and hold it. The
camera takes pictures as quickly as possible until you release the Shutter button or
the camera runs out of memory.
The Image Display remains off during the burst capture. After the burst images have
been taken, each image appears one at a time in Instant Review (see
Instant Review
on page 14 ). You can delete the entire burst sequence in Instant Review. To delete
individual images, see Deleting images on page 31 .
To add audio to images taken with the Burst setting, see Recording audio
on page 33 .
The Burst setting remains in effect until it is changed again, or until it resets to the default
Off setting when you turn off the camera.
Exposure Compensation
You can use Exposure Compensation to override the camera's automatic exposure
setting. Exposure Compensation is useful in scenes that contain many light objects
(like a white object against a light background) or many dark objects (like a black object
against a dark background). Such scenes could turn out gray without the use of
Exposure Compensation. For a scene with many light objects, increase the Exposure
Compensation to a positive number. For a scene with many dark objects, decrease the
Exposure Compensation.
Tip To see the effect varying Exposure Compensation settings might have on
a scene, try the Exposure option in Bracketing (see Bracketing under Using
the Capture Menu on page 23 ).
Adaptive Lighting
This setting balances the relationship between bright and dark areas in a picture,
preserving gentle contrasts while reducing harsh contrasts. When used with a flash,
Adaptive Lighting can brighten areas that a flash wouldn’t reach. Adaptive Lighting
is useful in situations like these:
●
Outdoor scenes with a mixture of sun and shade
● High contrast scenes that contain both light and dark objects
● Indoor scenes that use flash photography (to soften or even out the effect of the
flash)
● Backlit scenes where the subject is too far away for the flash to reach, or is severely
backlit (for example, in front of a window)
You can use Adaptive Lighting with or without flash, but it is not recommended as a
replacement for flash. Unlike the flash, Adaptive Lighting does not affect exposure
settings, so brightened areas may appear noisy or grainy, and indoor or night images
may be blurry if taken without a flash or a tripod.
