Continuous-advance mode allows a series of images to be captured while holding
down the shutter-release button. Continuous advance acts like a motor drive on a film
camera. The number of images that can be captured at one time and the rate of
capture depends on the image-quality and image-size setting. The maximum rate of
capture is 1.1 fps (1.3 fps for DiMAGE 5) with full-size images with manual focus in
manual-exposure mode. The continuous-advance mode is set with the function dial (p.
40).
When the shutter-release button is pressed and held, the camera will begin recording
images until the maximum number has been taken or the shutter button is released.
This mode cannot be used with super-fine or RAW image (p. 44). The built-in flash can
be used, but the rate of capture is reduced because the flash must recharge between
frames.
Compose the picture as described in the basic operation section (p. 29). Press the
shutter-release button partway down to lock the exposure and focus for the series; if
the autofocus mode is set to continuous AF, the lens will continually focus during the
series (p. 68). Press and hold the shutter-release button all the way down to begin
taking pictures.
The following chart lists the maximum number of images that can be captured with
different image-quality and image-size combinations. The numbers in parentheses refer
to the DiMAGE 5.

The self-timer can be used to minimize camera shake with long exposures. When using the
camera on a tripod, photographs of static subjects (landscapes, still-lifes, or close-up pho-
tographs) can be made with the self-timer. Because no contact is made with the camera during
exposure, there is no risk of camera shake caused by the operator.
Shooting tips
Used for self-portraits, the self-timer will delay the release of the shutter for
approximately ten seconds after the shutter is released. The self-timer is set with the
function dial (p. 40).
With the camera on a tripod, compose the picture as described in the basic operation
section (p. 29). Focus lock (p.30) or the Flex Focus Point (p. 67) can be used with off-
center subjects . Press the shutter-release button partway down or press the AF/AEL
button to lock the exposure and focus. Press the shutter-release button all the way
down to begin the countdown. Because focus and exposure are determined when the
shutter-release button is pressed, do not stand in front of the camera when taking a
self-timer image. Always confirm the focus with the focus signals before beginning the
countdown (p. 68).
During the countdown, the self-timer lamp on the
front of the camera will start to blink and is
accompanied by an audio signal. A few seconds
before the exposure, the self-timer lamp will blink
rapidly. The lamp will glow steadily just before
the shutter fires. To stop the countdown, press
the pro-auto button or change the position of the
flash (lift it or push it down). The audio signal can
be turned off in the basic section of the setup
menu (p. 114).
