Reference-Advanced Photography Taking Pictures in a Sequence:The Continuous Menu The "continuous" menu determines whether the camera takes one picture each time the shutter-release button is pressed, or records a continuous sequence of pictures while the shutter-release button is held down. QUAL 1 SIZE CONTINUOUS Single S Continuous Multi-shot 16 A MENU O F F SELECT SET Option Description Single Camera records one picture each time the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down. Continuous Camera records pictures at a rate of about three photos ever y two seconds while the shutter-release button is held all the way down. This setting can be used to capture fleeting expressions on a portrait subject, or to picture a subject that is moving unpredictably. The flash is turned off when this setting is in effect,and focus, exposure, and white balance are determined by the first pictur e in the series. Multi-Shot 16 Camera takes sixteen consecutive "thumbnail" images 400 × 300 pixels in size and combines them into a collage measuring 1600 × 1200 pixels. This option is only available when image size is set to FULL. The flash is turned off when this setting is in effect,and focus, expo- sure, and white balance are determined by the first pictur e in the series. The Memory Buffer The camera is equipped with a memor y buffer for temporary storage of photos during shooting, allowing you to take several pictures in succession without waiting for the images to be transferred to the memory card. The number of images that can be stored in the buffer depends on the quality and size of the images. When the buffer becomes full, an hourglass icon ( ) will be displayed in the monitor until enough data have been transferred to the card to allow more pictures to be taken. More pictures can be taken as soon as enough memory becomes available in the buffer. At a setting of Continuous, you can continue to take pictures as long as the shutter-release button is held down, although the rate at which pictures are taken will drop when the buffer fills up. 102
