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
DescriptionMode
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.

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
50 s or faster, and memory re main ing
in memory buffer. Number of pictures that can be
stored in buffer depends on options selected for im-
age 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.
