Capturing Pictures

Taking any kind of picture, Still, Burst, or Time-lapse is basically the same. The only difference is the amount of time you hold down the Shutter button. For fast camera response and to ensure sharp pictures without blurring due to camera motion, press and hold the Shutter button halfway down until the green Ready light illuminates. Then, press the Shutter button the rest of the way to take the picture. You do not need to hold the camera still while the green Ready light is blinking. You are not able to take another picture until it stops blinking.

  1. Place the subject in the viewfinder, or turn on Preview, see Previewing a Picture and use the LCD to frame your subject.
  2. Press the Shutter button.

    If you have the Quickview setting turned on, the camera displays the picture on the color LCD and saves it to the memory card.

  • For Still pictures, press and release the Shutter button.
  • For Burst pictures, hold down the Shutter button for as long as you want to take pictures.

    The camera stops taking pictures when the available memory is used or when you release the Shutter button. The resolution and quality of your pictures, set in the Burst picture settings, dictate how quickly the memory is consumed. See Picture Type Settings for more information.

  • For Time-lapse pictures, press and release the Shutter button.

    The camera takes pictures at the interval set in the Time-lapse picture settings. It continues to take pictures until you press the Shutter button again, press Stop, or until the maximum number of pictures set in the Time-lapse picture settings is taken. See Picture Type Settings for more information. If you set a long interval between Time-lapse pictures, the camera appears to turn itself off to save batteries. It turns itself back on to take the next picture.

    If you are taking Burst or Time-lapse pictures, the color LCD displays the picture after the last picture in the series is taken. You can only record sound when the picture sequence is complete and the last picture is displayed.
