∫Focusing in Burst Mode

The focus changes depending on the setting for [FOCUS PRIORITY] (P138) in the [CUSTOM] menu and the Focus Mode setting.

Focus Mode	Focus Priority	Focus
AFS	ON	At the first picture
	OFF
AFC¢1	ON	Normal focusing¢2
	OFF	Predicted focusing¢3
MF	—	Focus set with Manual Focus

¢1 When subject is dark, the focus is fixed on the first picture.

¢2 The burst speed may become slower because the camera is continuously focusing on the subject.

¢3 Burst speed takes priority, and focus is estimated within possible range.

Note

•We recommend using the remote shutter (DMW-RSL1; optional) when you want to keep the shutter button pressed fully while taking pictures in Burst Mode. Refer to P179 for information about the remote shutter.

•When the burst speed is set to [H], the exposure and White Balance are fixed at the settings used for the first picture for the subsequent pictures as well. When the burst speed is set to [M] or [L], they are adjusted each time you take a picture.

•If you are following a moving subject while taking pictures in a place indoors, outdoors etc. where there is a large difference between the light and shade (landscape), it may take time until the exposure is stable. If burst is used at this time, the exposure may not become optimal.

•Since the shutter speed becomes slower in dark places, the burst speed (pictures/second) may become slower.

•When set to [H], the Auto Review function is activated regardless of the Auto Review setting. (Will not hold) You cannot set the Auto Review function in the [SETUP] menu.

When set to [M] or [L], Live View is displayed between burst frames.

•When the flash is activated, you can take only 1 picture.

•White Balance Bracket (P89) will record 3 pictures at 1 recording, so it will take longer to be able to take the next picture.

•Maximum of 3 films will be recorded depending on the Multi Film Bracket setting during the Multi Film Bracket recording (P93).

•The Burst Mode is disabled during recording of motion pictures.
