WMulti-shot 16

Each time the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down, the camera takes 16 shots at a rate of about 7.4 frames per second (fps), then arranges them in a single image. Images are captured with the image mode locked at L2560×1920.

• Digital zoom cannot be used.

The icon for the current setting is displayed in the monitor during shooting (A8). When set to Single, no icon is displayed.

BNote on Continuous Shooting

•This feature cannot be used simultaneously with certain features. ➝“Camera Settings that Cannot Be Set at the Same Time” (A58)

BSS is best suited to shooting subjects that are not moving. When shooting moving subjects or when the composition of the picture changes while shooting, the desired results may not be achieved.
