The burst speed is constant regardless of the transfer speed of the card.
•
The burst speed values given above apply when the shutter speed is 1/60 or faster and when
the ash is not activated.
Note
• When the burst mode setting is set to [

]
–
The burst speed becomes slower halfway. The exact timing of this depends on the type of
card, the picture size and the quality.
– You can take pictures until the capacity of the built-in memory or the card is full.
• The focus is xed when the rst picture is taken.
• When the burst speed is set to [

], the exposure and white balance are xed at the settings
used for the rst picture for the subsequent pictures as well. When the burst speed is set to [

],
they are adjusted each time you take a picture.
• When the self-timer is used, the number of recordable pictures in Burst Mode is xed to 3.
• If you are following a moving subject while taking pictures in a place (landscape) indoors,
outdoors etc. where there is a large difference between the light and shade, it may take time
until the exposure is stable. If burst is used at this time, the exposure may not become optimal.
• 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.
• Burst Mode is not cancelled when the camera is switched off.
• If you take pictures in Burst Mode with the built-in memory, it will take time to write the picture
data.
