On your four way d-pad press up and you have single shooting as first option. Turn the wheel around the d-pad to get to it. Choose that.

Great Swerky thanks. I think if on trip the printed manual gave you hard to find, even in that?

You're welcome kevss  I didn't look in the manual if that's what you mean.

Was wondering if that is even in the printed manual.....

It should be. Never fully read a manual. If I bump into an unknown, I resort to the manual or mostly as a question on this forum.

With current digital cameras with all the settings, features, etc., along with some settings may disable certain settings; difficult to use the camera without reading the manual.

Even if you have 'other' cameras.

... Manual I love them usually by Canon, but this one seems bit hard to find stuff like that...

Generally just "thoroughly" reading/ understanding just the "Before Use" and "Basic Guide" needed to understanding camera controls, nomenclature used in the manual to be able to easily find things in the manual

In the PDF version "IF" you use the correct names/ terms for items, can easily find items by "simply" searching.
