ADVANCED SHOOTING J SEQUENTIAL SHOOTING There are 4 sequential shooting modes: high speed sequential shooting, sequential shooting, AF sequential shooting and auto bracketing. Sequential shooting modes can be selected from the DRIVE mode menu. Sequential shooting cannot be performed when the record mode is set to TIFF. Drive mode Shoots 1 frame at a time when the shutter button is pressed. (Normal shooting mode, single-frame shooting) Pictures can be taken at a faster speed than normal sequential shooting. The sequential shooting speed varies depending on the record mode setting. 4 frames at 3.3 frames/sec. (3 frames in SHQ ENLARGE SIZE En mode) Focus, exposure and white balance are locked at the first frame. Approx. 11 frames at 1.7 frames/sec. (in HQ mode) Focus is individually locked for each frame. The AF sequential shooting speed is slower than for normal sequential shooting. BKT When auto bracketing is set, the exposure is changed automatically for each frame when you start shooting. The exposure differential and number of frames can be selected in the menus. The focus and white balance are locked at the first frame. MENU FUNCTIONS - Mode menus J METERING There are three ways of measuring the brightness of a subject. Digital ESP metering : Meters the center of the subject and the surrounding area separately. Spot metering : Exposure is determined by metering within the AF target area. In this mode, a subject can be shot with optimal exposure regardless of the background light. Multi-metering : Meters the brightness of the subject at up to 8 different points to set the optimal exposure based on the average brightness. This method is useful with a high contrast subject.
