may no longer be in focus when it reaches point Bwhere you want to take the shot.
In such situations, focus on point Bbeforehand and then lock the focus so that it does not shift.
This feature is also useful for photographing fast-moving subjects that are difficult to focus on.

◆Quality and flash ◆
When a Continuous shooting mode is selected, the Flash mode is forcibly set to “v” Suppressed flash.
In a Long-period continuous shooting with 1280 ×960 pixels/1536 ×864 pixels mode, the quality is also
forcibly set to “1, ¡”.
However, when the mode is changed back to normal photography, the flash setting specified before
continuous shooting was selected is restored. Likewise, when a Long-period continuous shooting with
!1280 ×960 pixels/#1536 ×864 pixels mode has been used, the quality setting is also restored
to its previous value.
In this mode, you can shoot up to 5 frames at
intervals as short as 0.2 seconds. When you take
the shots, the photographed images are displayed
(in sequence from the left) and automatically
recorded.
