∫ About the maximum number of pictures that can be taken continuously
When you press the shutter button halfway, the maximum number
of pictures you can take continuously will appear. You can check
the approximate number of pictures that can be taken before the
burst speed slows down.
Example: When 20 pictures can be taken: [r20]
• Once recording starts, the maximum number of pictures that can be taken continuously will
decrease. When [r0] appears, the burst speed will slow down.
• When [r99+] is displayed, you can take 100 or more pictures continuously.
Notes on focus in Burst Mode
The way focus is achieved varies according to the focus mode setting and the [Focus/
Release Priority] setting in the [Custom] ([Focus / Release Shutter]) menu.
¢1 When the subject is dark, the focus is fixed on the first picture.
¢2 Burst speed takes priority, and focus is estimated within possible range.
¢3 The burst speed may become slower because the camera is continuously focusing on the
subject.

[MF] — Focus set with Manual Focus
• When the burst speed is set to [H] (when focus mode is [AFS] or [MF]), the exposure is fixed
at the settings used for the first picture for the subsequent pictures as well.
In other cases, the camera adjusts the exposure for each frame.
• 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.
• We recommend using the shutter remote control (DMW-RSL1: optional) when you want to
keep the shutter button pressed fully while taking pictures in Burst Mode.
Not available in these cases:
• The Burst Mode is disabled in the following cases.
– [Rough Monochrome]/[Silky Monochrome]/[Miniature Effect]/[Soft Focus]/[Star Filter]/
[Sunshine] (Creative Control Mode)
– When using [Multi Exp.]
