• When a high ambient temperature, continuous recording or other conditions cause the camera 
to overheat, the following restrictions will occur to protect the camera. Wait until the camera 
cools down.
– Continuous recording, motion picture recording, and the Wi-Fi connection will be temporarily 
disabled.
– If you continue recording even when [ ] is flashing on the screen, a message will be 
displayed and the camera will turn off automatically.
• When the burst speed is set to [SH] or [H] (when focus mode is [AFS] or [MF]), the exposure 
and White Balance are fixed at the settings used for the first picture for the subsequent pictures 
as well.
When the burst speed is set to [H] (when focus mode is [AFF] or [AFC]), [M] or [L], they are 
adjusted each time you take a picture.
• Since the shutter speed becomes slower in dark places, the burst speed (pictures/second) may 
become slower.
• Depending on the operating conditions, it may take time to take the next picture if you repeat 
the recording of pictures.
• It may take time to save pictures taken in Burst Mode on the card. If you take pictures 
continuously while saving, the maximum number of recordable pictures decreases. For 
continuous shooting, use of a high speed memory card is recommended.
