I can't set my Nikon S560 to continuous shooting mode. When I scroll the menu, it jumps over the continuous setting. What am I doing wrong?

You can take a movie up to 3 minutes. In shooting menus 1 or 2, go to "Menu", then "Continuous". Scroll down the Continuous screen to get to page 2, then select "Movie". Select your mode and click on that and you should be all set.

Press the shooting mode button in shooting mode to display the shooting-mode
selection menu and set the shooting menu to Continuous.
Note:The maximum frame rate with continuous shooting may vary, depending upon the current image mode setting and the memory card used.

Press the shooting mode button in shooting mode to display the shooting mode menu and set the shooting menu to Auto mode (the green camera). Press MENU to display the shooting menu. Use the arrows to select "Image mode."

Setting it to portrait mode should do it. Hold down the shutter button, it should be working. I'm not overly familiar with nikons, but otherwise it'll be in a menu mode if you switch it to a more manual setting. Probably under shooting mode. Set it to continuous shoot

You need to adjust the white balance setting.
This is on the shooting menu.

The options on the white balance presets are.
Flash, Cloudy, Daylight, Fluorescent, Incandescent
Fluorescent is what you are looking for.
Remember to change it back to auto for outdoor shoting.

I don't know what you are doing - mine shoots continuously with no problems. There is nothing to set other than to set the shooting mode.
I have noticed that some memory cards are so slow it doesn't allow continuous mode. I recently replaced mince ith 16G class 6 cards and they work fine.

Same problem that would not allow me to take a picture without pressing the LOCK button on my Nikon 8700. Here is how I believe I fixed the problem:

Turn the camera ON.

Press MENU button on your camera to bring up the menu.

Scroll down to SET-UP, open the SET-UP menu by scrolling right.

In the SET-UP menu, scroll all the way down to FUNC (Controls) on page 2/3 , open the FUNC (Controls) menu by scrolling right.

You are now presented with 2 options:FUNC and AE-L, AF-L)

Select the FUNC option by right scrolling.

Choose the 2nd option: i.e the mountain, flower and timer icon (distance, macro and self-timer icon) by right scrolling.

Press the MENU button to get out of the menu.

Attempt to take a picture without pressing LOCK.

Should work! Anyways, it worked for me.

Cheers.

I will need more info on the settings you are using. It might be that the camera is in a specific mode which is not allowing you to take continuos shots.

Hi,

Are you in manual mode (and not auto) when trying to select continuous or best shot? Try lowering the image resolution also.

Some details first...

• The continous icon looks like multiple papers stacked on top of each other (in contrast the normal icon for single shot is a square box with an S in it so you can get it back to normal)
  
• The camera takes shots at 1.5 frames per second, or about three frames every two seconds for image size of 2272x1704.
• The shutter-release button has to be held down
• Continuous is not available in HI image quality
• Shooting will slow when memory buffer fills.
  

Setting to continuous...

• Put your camera in P, S, A, or M mode.
• I suggest P mode, this is for Program mode and does everything as Auto does, but allows you to override settings (except Aperture and Shutter).
• Press the Menu button
• Access the Continuous menu
• Select the Continuous menu option, again looks like layered papers.
