before recording begins, but the [Shots] setting has no effect.

• When you specify multiple shots, image brightness and white balance are determined by the first shot. More time is required between shots when the flash fires or when you have specified to take many shots. Shooting will stop automatically when the memory card becomes full.

•When a delay longer than two seconds is specified, two seconds before the shot, the lamp blinking and self-timer sound will speed up. (When the flash fires, the lamp will remain lit.)
