◆Notes on using the Continuous shooting modes ◆
hShooting continues for as long as you hold down the Shutter button. In Auto bracketing mode
however, just press the Shutter button once to shoot 3 frames.
hIf there is insufficient space on the media, as many frames are shot as can be recorded on the
available space. When auto bracketing, if there is insufficient space on the media to record 3 frames,
no pictures are taken.
hThe focus is determined in the first frame and cannot be changed in mid-sequence.
hThe exposure is determined in the first frame, but in Long-period continuous shooting the exposure is
adjusted for the scene being shot.
hThe speed of continuous shooting varies depending on the shutter speed.
hThe speed of continuous shooting does not change with the quality setting.
hThe flash cannot be used as the flash mode is set to Suppressed flash.
hFor Continuous shooting, final 10-frame continuous shooting and pictures taken using auto
bracketing, the results are always displayed after you shoot. To choose whether or not to record the
images, set “IMAGE DISP.” in SET-UP to “PREVIEW” (➡P.83). Note that pictures taken using Long-
period continuous shooting are recorded regardless of the setting in SET-UP.
