p Low-speed continuous: Max. 3 shots per sec.

o High-speed continuous: Max. 8.5 shots per sec.

¡ When you shoot, the images are first stored in the camera’s internal memory and then transferred to the memory card. When the internal memory becomes full during continuous shooting, the camera cannot continue to take more pictures until the images are transferred to the memory card. As the images are transferred to the memory card, you will be able to take more pictures. Press the shutter button halfway to see the maximum burst for continuous shooting in the viewfinder’s lower right. The maximum burst is displayed even when there is no memory card in the camera. Make sure a memory card has been installed before shooting.

¡If “Card Full” is displayed in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel, wait until the access lamp turns off or stops blinking, then replace the memory card.
