BNote on Continuous Shooting
The maximum frame rate with continuous shooting may vary, depending upon the current image
mode setting and the memory card used.
BNote on Multi-shot 16
If bright objects such as the sun or electric lights are captured during shooting with the Multi-shot
16 option, vertical streaks of light may appear in the recorded images. We recommend that you
avoid capturing bright objects during shooting with the Multi-shot 16 option.
