Restrictions on Camera Settings, Continuous

Restrictions on Camera Settings

•Autofocus, exposure, and white balance for all photos are determined by the first picture in each series.

•The flash mode is set to automatically. Continuous can not be used simultaneously with BSS ( 91) or Auto bracketing ( 96). The camera takes pictures with the latest setting among those options.

•Noise reduction ( 102) has no effect even if this option is set to On.

•When shooting pictures using the Self-timer, Continuous is switched to Single. Contin- uous, 5 shot buffer, and Multi-shot 16 can not be used. The settings will return to the original after an image has been taken using the Self-timer.

•While shooting in Multi-shot 16, Sensitivity ( 95) is set to Auto.

Continuous

Unless the setting is Single, the current Continuous setting is indicated by an icon in the monitor.
