Enable continuous shooting or BSS (best shot selector).
B Notes on Continuous Shooting
• When Continuous, BSS, or Multi-shot 16 is selected, the flash is disabled. Focus, exposure, and
white balance are fixed at the values determined with the first picture 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 are functions with which this setting cannot be enabled. See “Camera Settings That cannot
be Applied Simultaneously” (A76) for more information.
B Note on BSS
BSS is effective when taking pictures of still subjects. BSS may not produce the desired results if the
subject moves or the composition changes while the shutter-release button is held down.
B Note on Multi-shot 16
Smear (A168) visible in the monitor when shooting with Multi-shot 16 enabled will be recorded
with images. Avoiding bright objects such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and electric lights when
shooting with Multi-shot 16 enabled is recommended.

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 pictures. When BSS is on, the camera takes up to ten pictures while the
shutter-release button is held down. The sharpest picture in the series is
automatically selected and saved.

Each time the shutter-release button is pressed, camera takes
16 pictures at about 7 frames per second (fps) and arranges
them in a single image.

changed.
