Shooting Continuously at High Speed (Sport Continuous)

BNotes on Sport Continuous Shooting

It may take some time to save the images after shooting. The time it takes to save the images depends on the number of images captured, the image mode, the memory card’s write speed, etc.

Because the ISO sensitivity is set to 400 or higher, images may appear rough as a result. Proper exposure may not be obtained in clear weather (images may be overexposed).

Smear (A 128) visible in the monitor when shooting with sport continuous will be visible in the saved image data. To reduce smear effects, avoid bright objects such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and electric lights when shooting.

Variances in brightness or hue may occur in images captured under lighting that flickers at high speeds, such as fluorescent and mercury-vapor.

The shutter speed is set automatically within the range of 1/4000 to 1/60 s.

The speed of continuous shooting may be slower depending on shutter speed settings and the write speed of the memory card.

When using sport continuous mode, the camera focuses continuously until the shutter-release button is pressed halfway to lock the focus. A sound will be heard while the camera focuses.
