Recording

•Depending on the operating conditions, it may take time to take the next picture if you repeat the

recording of pictures.

continuously while saving, the maximum number of recordable pictures decreases. For

continuous shooting, use of a high speed memory card is recommended.

•The burst speed (pictures/second) may become slower depending on the recording environment

such as in dark places, if the ISO sensitivity is high, etc.

settings for the first picture.
