BNotes on Continuous Shooting

The maximum frame rate with continuous shooting may vary, depending upon the current image quality setting, image size setting, and the memory card used.

Be aware that shooting will stop if the built-in flash is raised or lowered while you are pressing the shutter-release button fully in Continuous or BSS mode.

Continuous, BSS, Continuous flash and Multi-shot 16 cannot be used when Image quality (A124) is set to NRW (RAW), NRW (RAW) + Fine, NRW (RAW) + Normal or NRW (RAW) + Basic.

BNote on Best Shot Selector

BSS is best suited for shooting stationary subjects. BSS may not produce the desired results if the subject moves or the composition changes while the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down.

BNotes on Continuous Flash

Continuous flash cannot be used when the built-in flash is shut. Popup the built-in flash when using continuous flash to shoot.

When Continuous flash is selected for Continuous, turning on the Speedlight will change the option to Single.

BNotes on Multi-shot 16

Digital zoom is not available.

At an ISO sensitivity (A138) setting of 3200 or 6400, the Multi-shot 16 option is not available. When shooting with the Multi-shot 16 option, select options other than 3200 or 6400 for ISO sensitivity and select Multi-shot 16 for Continuous.

BNote on Shutter Speed

Shutter speed will be restricted to a maximum of 1/2 s when Continuous, BSS, Continuous flash or Multi-shot 16 is selected for Continuous. Shutter speed will be restricted to a maximum of 8 s when Intvl timer shooting is selected.
