Advanced (Recording pictures)

Note

•When using a tripod etc., setting the self-timer to 2 seconds is a convenient way to avoid the jitter caused by pressing the shutter button.

•When you press the shutter button once fully, the subject is automatically focused just before recording. In dark places, the self-timer indicator will blink and then may turn on brightly operating as an AF assist lamp (P146) to allow the camera to focus on the subject.

•We recommend using a tripod when recording with the self-timer.

•The number of pictures which can be taken in Burst Mode is fixed to 3.

•The number of pictures which can be taken in [FLASH BURST] (P101) is fixed to 5.

•Depending on the recording conditions, the recording interval may become more than 2 seconds when [10S/3PICTURES] is selected.

•The flash output may not be constant when [10S/3PICTURES] is selected.
