Pre-Continuous Shooting

With this feature, automatic shooting in continuous shooting drive mode is already in progress before you press the shutter button completely, after you have pressed it halfway for a moment. [Pre-Continuous Shooting] is displayed on the shooting screen during pre-continuous shooting.

  1. Select [Shooting: Pre-cont. shooting] ().

  2. Select [Enable].

Caution

  • Use cards with 4 GB or more of free space.
  • The shutter-release time lag and continuous shooting interval may vary.
  • The number of shots available may not match the number displayed.
  • Subjects may be out of focus if there are sudden changes in the distance between subjects and the camera while you are pressing the shutter button halfway.
  • Images may not be captured correctly when you use pre-continuous shooting with a low battery.
  • Shutter speeds slower than [0"5] (0.5 sec.) are not available.
  • In [M] mode, consider shooting with ISO Auto.
  • With variable maximum aperture zoom lenses, exposure may change if you zoom while pressing the shutter button halfway or completely.
  • Even with constant maximum aperture zoom lenses, exposure may change if you zoom while pressing the shutter button halfway or completely. For details, refer to the Canon website ().

Note

  • The electronic shutter is used in shooting.
  • The amount of preliminary shooting varies depending on the continuous shooting speed. (For example, at a continuous shooting speed of approx. 40 shots/sec., the camera shoots for about 0.5 sec. before you press the button completely.)
