Continuous shooting capabilities

Analyze golf swings and other action sequences by taking advan­tage of the Caplio G4's various continuous modes. In M-continuous
mode, with the shutter button held down the camera memorizes
the last 16 shots in one file for two seconds of footage. This comes
in handy when you are uncertain about the start or finish of a par­ticular action. In S-continuous mode, it c an ta k e a series of 16 shots
in one file for two seconds of footage with just one press of the shut­ter butt on. When re­viewing the 16 shots
du ring pl ayback,
each frame can be
e nlarged individually,
and you can quickly
browse back and forth
through all 16 shots
to create the feel of
an anima t ed mov i e.
