Face that is obstructed by hair, sunglasses, a hat, etc., or a face in dark shade

A profile or a face that is at an angle

A face that is very far away and small, or very close and large

When using a continuous shutter mode, keep the camera still until all recording is finished.

The continuous shutter rate depends on the current image size and image quality settings.

The speed of Continuous Shutter depends on the type of memory card loaded in the camera and the amount of free space available for storage. When shooting to built-in memory, continuous shutter shooting is relatively slow.
