Notes
• You cannot shoot images continuously when “0” flashes in the viewfinder. Wait
until the indicator disappears.
• You cannot shoot continuously when using Scene Selection modes other than
[Sports Action].
• When [Face Detection] is set to [On], the speed of continuous shooting may be
slower.
The 10-second self-timer is convenient when the photographer appears in a
photo and the 2-second self-timer is convenient to reduce the camera shake
because the mirror is raised first.
