_ The burst speed is constant regardless
of the transfer speed of the card.
• The number of pictures indicated is when
the shutter speed is faster than 1/60 and
the flash is not activated.
• The burst speed (pictures/second) may
become slower depending on the
recording environment such as in dark
places, if the ISO sensitivity is high etc.
• If you take pictures in burst mode with the
built-in memory, it will take time to write
the picture data.
• When the burst mode setting is set to
Unlimited
– The burst speed becomes slower
halfway. The exact timing of this
depends on the type of card, the picture
size and the quality.
– You can take pictures until the capacity
of the built-in memory or the card is full.
• The focus is fixed when the first picture is
taken.
• The exposure and the white balance vary
depending on the burst mode setting.
When burst mode is set to [ ], they are
fixed to the values set for the first picture.
When the burst speed is set to [ ], they
are adjusted each time you take a picture.
• If you are following a moving subject while
taking pictures in a place (landscape)
indoors, outdoors etc. where there is a
large difference between the light and
shade, it may take time until the exposure
is stable. If burst is used at this time, the
exposure may not become optimal.
• When the self-timer is used, the number
of recordable pictures in burst mode is
fixed to 3.
