While shutter-release button is held down, pictures are taken at rate of about 1.3 frames per second (fps) when image mode is set to yNormal (3264) in L18 or when image mode is set to dNormal (3072) in L16. This rate is maintained for up to 2 pictures.

jBest Shot Selector (BSS)

The “best shot selector” is recommended when shooting with the flash off or the camera zoomed in, or in other situations in which inadvertent motion can result in blurred pictures. When BSS is on, the camera takes up to ten pictures while the shutter-release button is held down. The sharpest picture in the series is automatically selected and saved.

At settings other than Single, the indicator for the current setting is displayed in the monitor (A6).
