Some settings may be unavailable in some modes.

NOTE:

For rapid setting changes, see Using the command dial for rapid setting changes. For determining burst capacity, see Determining the burst capacity. Raw and TIFF are unavailable in Burst.

Drive mode		Description
Single		Camera takes one picture.
	Self-timer (10 sec)	A 10-second delay to put yourself into the picture. Place camera on a tripod or flat surface.
	Shutter Delay (2 sec)	A 2-second delay allows for a steady, auto-shutter release on a tripod.
	Self-timer (2-shot)	Capture 2 pictures (one picture taken after 10 seconds and another picture taken 8 seconds later).
	First Burst Flash forced off.	Camera takes a series of pictures while the Shutter button is pressed. To determine the quantity saved, see Determining the burst capacity. Capture an expected event e.g., a person swinging a golf club.
	Last Burst Flash forced off.	Camera takes a series of pictures while the Shutter button is pressed. When the Shutter button is released, only the last 5 pictures are saved (4 pictures in RAW). (Capture an event when the precise timing is uncertain e.g., a child blowing out birthday candles.)
	Exposure Bracketing 3 Flash forced off.	Camera takes 3 pictures at intervals of 1/3, 2/3, and 1.0 EV. Determine the best exposure level for your conditions based on your evaluation of 3 pictures. Not available in TIFF. For using exposure compensation with exposure bracketing, see Using exposure compensation with exposure bracketing.
	Exposure Bracketing 5 Flash forced off.	Camera takes 5 pictures at intervals of 1/3, 2/3, and 1.0 EV. Determine the best exposure level for your conditions based on your evaluation of 5 pictures (not available in RAW). For using exposure compensation with exposure bracketing, see Using exposure compensation with exposure bracketing
	Time Lapse	Camera takes specified number of pictures (2–99) at specified intervals (10 seconds–24 hours; 60 seconds–24 hours in TIF & RAW).
