∫About the maximum number of pictures that can be taken continuo usly
When you press the shutter button halfway, the maximum number 
of pictures you can take cont inuously will appear. You can chec k 
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 con tinuously.

¢1 When the subject is dark or the burst speed is set to [SH], th e focus is fixed on the first 
picture.

keep the shutter button pressed fully while taking pictures in  Burst Mode. Refer to P309 for 
information about the shutter remote control.

fixed at the settings used for the first picture for the subseq uent pictures as well.
When the burst speed is set to [H] (when focus mode is [AFF] or  [AFC]), [M] or [L], the 
exposure is adjusted each time you take a picture.
