Note

When the burst speed is set to [H] (when [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 [Focus Mode] is [AFF] or [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.

The Burst Mode is disabled in the following cases.

[Glistening Water], [Glittering Illuminations] and [Soft Image of a Flower] in Scene Guide Mode

[Miniature Effect], [Soft Focus] and [Star Filter] in Creative Control Mode
