∫Focusing in Burst Mode
The focus changes depending on the setting for [Focus/Release Priority] (P55) in the
[Custom] menu and the Focus Mode setting.
¢
1 When the subje ct is dark or the burst speed is set to [SH], 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.
•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 P268 for information
about the remote shutter.
•When the burst speed is set to [SH] or [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.
•Depending on the operating conditions, it may take time to take the next picture if you repeat
the recording of pictures.
•It may take time to save pictures taken in Burst Mode on the card. If you take pictures
continuously while saving, the maximum number of recordable pictures decreases. For
continuous shooting, use of a high speed memory card is recommended.
