To use this function, set the [CONTINUOUS SHOOTING] to [ON]. ( pg. 51) The indicator appears on the display.

To turn off this function, set [CONTINUOUS SHOOTING] to [OFF].

Continuous shooting may not work well depending on the recording medium.

The continuous shooting speed will drop when repeatedly making continuous shots.
