sec., adequate exposure is not obtained when shooting a dark subject.

• If the battery power is low and the battery check blinks during sequential
shooting, shooting stops and the camera starts saving the pictures you have
taken. Whether or not all of the shots are saved depends on how much battery
power remains.
• If there is not enough space available on the card for the number of frames you
have set during auto bracketing, you cannot continue shooting.
