Take the picture as described in the basic recording operation section (p. 24). Once the series starts, the shutter button can be released; the camera continues recording until all nine frames have been captured.

Flash cannot be used. Because of the limits to the shutter speeds, images may be underexposed in low-light conditions. Image size refers to the total area of all nine images, not the size of each individual thumbnail.
