• The focus is fixed when the first picture is
taken.
• The exposure and the white balance are
adjusted each time you take a picture.
Also, 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.
• When the self-timer is used, the number
of recordable pictures in burst mode is
fixed to 3.
• Burst mode is not cancelled when the
camera is switched off.
• When burst mode is set, the auto review
function is activated regardless of the auto
review setting. You cannot set the auto
review function in the [SETUP] menu.
• Burst mode cannot be set in simple mode
[ ] and [STARRY SKY] in scene mode.
Press [ ] to display the [REC] mode
menu and select the item to set. (P55)
Illuminating the subject makes it easier for
the camera to focus when recording in low
light conditions that make focusing difficult.

with a size wider than
usual is displayed and the
AF assist lamp
A
turns
on when you press the
shutter button halfway in dark places etc.
• Be careful about the following when using
the AF assist lamp.
– Do not look at the AF assist lamp from
close up.

assist lamp (e.g. when taking pictures of
animals in dark places), set the
[AF ASSIST LAMP] to [OFF]. In this case,
it will become more difficult to focus on the
subject.
