of up to about 1.2 frames per second (at an image mode setting of

).
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, the camera shoots up to ten images 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, the camera
takes 16 shots at a rate of about 30 fps and arranges them in a
single image.
Images are saved at an image mode setting of L(image size:
2560 × 1920 pixels). This setting cannot be changed.
Digital zoom is not available.
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 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 are functions with which this setting cannot be enabled. See “Camera Settings That Cannot
Be Applied Simultaneously” (A 80) 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 (A 175) visible in the monitor when shooting with Multi-shot 16 enabled will be saved
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.
