If you take pictures continuously while saving, the maximum number of recordable pic tures decreases. For continuous shooting, use of a high speed memory card is recommended. •The burst speed (pictures/second) may become slower depending o n the recording environment. For example, it may become slower in dark location s. •When [ ] is set, focus prediction will be performed in a possible range to prioritize the burst speed. Therefore, if you try to take a picture of a subject that is moving fast, it may have trouble with focusing or it may take time to focus. •When [ ] is set, the recording may be brighter or darker from the second picture depending on changes in the brightness of the subject. •This function is not availa ble in the following cases:–When using Auto Bracket –Self Shot Mode–[Handheld Night Shot]/[HDR]/[Starry Sky] (Scene Mode)–[Impressive Art]/[Toy Effect]/[Miniature Effect]/[Soft Focus]/[ Star Filter] (Creative Control Mode) •When the Self-Timer is used, the number of recordable pictures in Burst Mode is fixed to 3.
