While the shutter-release button is held down, up to ten pictures are taken at a rate
of about 0.7 frames per second (fps) (when Image mode is set to I 4000 × 3000).
Shooting ends when the shutter-release button is released, or ten pictures have
been taken.
D BSS (best shot selector)
The “best shot selector” is recommended when shooting with the flash off or the
camera zoomed in, or in other situations in which inadvertent motion can result in
blurred images. When BSS is on, camera takes up to ten pictures while the shutter-
release button is held down. The sharpest image in the series is automatically
selected and saved.
W Multi-shot 16
Each time the shutter-release button is pressed, camera takes
16 shots at a rate of about 30 fps and arranges them in a
single image.
• Image mode is fixed at L (image size: 2560 × 1920 pixels).
• Digital zoom is not available.
B Notes on Continuous Shooting
• When Continuous, BSS, or Multi-shot 16 is selected, flash is disabled. Focus, exposure, and
white balance are fixed at the values determined with the first image in each series.
• The frame rate with continuous shooting may vary depending upon the current image mode
setting, the memory card used, or shooting condition.
• There may be functions with which this setting cannot be enabled. See “Camera Settings that
Cannot Be Applied Simultaneously” (A49) for more information.
B Note on BSS
BSS is best suited to shooting subjects that are not moving. When shooting moving subjects or
when the composition of the picture changes while shooting, the desired results may not be
achieved.
