The camera focuses at the center area of the frame.

While you continue to hold the shutter-release button all the way, up to 7 pictures are shot at a rate of about 7 frames per second (fps) (when image quality is set to Normal and image size is set to r4896×3672).

The camera focuses on the subject even when the shutter-release button is not pressed halfway. You may hear the sound of the camera focusing.

Focus, exposure, and hue are fixed at the values determined with the first image in each series.

The frame rate with continuous shooting may become slow depending upon the current image quality setting, image size setting, the memory card used, or shooting condition.
