Continuous Shot with A40

[ApOgEE]

I just bought a Canon Powershot A40 camera with Kodak 128mb Compact Flash memory.
- Can anybody help me about the continuous shot features?
I've tried using P mode and M mode to do it. I tought, i can take some continuous pictures for a Mountainbike Jumping action but only one picture taken.
- Is there any way or setting to take continuous pictures?
- Do you have any idea how many pic i can take continuously using my A40?

You can take continuous shots as long as you hold down the shutter button. The longer the exposure and processing time the longer time between shots. At it's fastest rate it will take 2.5 shots every second.
You will notice the second button from the left on the bottom rear of the camera is the button you push to set this feature. When the icon on the screen shows multiple pages you are set.
