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 P184 for information about the remote shutter.

•When the burst speed is set to [SH] or [H] (when the Focus Mode is [AFS] or [MF]), the exposure and White Balance are fixed at the settings used for the first picture for the subsequent pictures as well. Depending on the brightness of the subject, the second picture and subsequent pictures may be brighter or darker. When the burst speed is set to [H] (when the Focus Mode is [AFC]), [M] or [L], they are adjusted each time you take a picture.

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

•[BURST RATE] is fixed to [H] in the Intelligent Auto Mode.

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

•The Burst Mode is disabled when White Balance Bracket is set.

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