• The exposure and the white balance vary
depending on the continuous mode set-
ting. When continuous mode is set to
[
], they are fixed to the values set for
the first picture.
When the frequency is set to [
] or
[
], they are adjusted each time you
take a picture.
• 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 continuous mode is used at
this time, the exposure may not become
optimal.

of recordable pictures in continuous mode
is fixed to 3.
• Continuous mode is not canceled when
the camera is switched off.
• When auto bracket and continuous mode
are set simultaneously, auto bracket will
be performed.
• When continuous mode is set, the auto
review function is activated regardless of
the auto review setting. (The picture is not
enlarged.) You cannot set the auto review
function in the [SETUP] menu.
• When continuous mode is activated,
[AUDIO REC.] cannot be used.
• Continuous mode cannot be set in simple
mode [
] and [STARRY SKY] in scene
mode.

menu and select the item to set. (P57)
Illuminating the subject makes it easier for
the camera to focus when recording in low
light conditions that make focusing difficult.
• If the AF assist lamp is
set to [ON], an AF area
with a size larger than
usual is displayed and the
AF assist lamp
turns
on when you press the shutter button half-
way in dark places etc.
• Be careful about the following when using
the AF assist lamp.
– Do not look at the AF assist lamp at
close range.
– Do not cover the AF assist lamp with
your fingers or other objects.
• When you do not want to use the AF
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.
• The setting for [AF ASSIST LAMP] is fixed
to [ON] in simple mode [
].
