Canon 950 IS continuous shoot

I'm trying to use the continuous shoot on my camera but for some reason the option will not come up, it will allow me to set it to take so many picture but i should be able to do continuous shooting, i'm now maybe wondering if its the card i'm using. I've tried googling for answers but i'm getting nothing. I've contacted canon and am just waiting for a repose just wondering if anyone on here can help at all?

TIA

You probably need to make sure the camera is in one of the proper modes to handle continuous shooting.

Also, make sure you hold the shutter down, or it will only take one picture.

Thanks for your help i just worked it out
