may also be bigger than usual when
taking pictures in underwater mode.
• The camera is focusing on all the AF
areas when multiple AF areas (max.
5 areas) light at the same time.
The focus position is not predetermined. It
is set to a position automatically
determined by the camera at the time of
focusing. If you want to determine the
focus position to take pictures, switch the
AF mode to [ ] or [ ].
• If the AF mode is set to 5-area-focusing,
the AF area is not displayed until the
picture is brought into focus.
• The AF mode cannot be set in simple
mode [ ], [SELF PORTRAIT] or
[FIREWORKS] in scene mode.
Press [ ] to display the [REC] mode
menu and select the item to set. (P17)
When burst is set to [ON], it is activated
while the shutter button is pressed.
• You can only take one picture when the
flash is activated.
• The burst speed becomes slower
halfway. The exact timing of this depends
on the type of card, the picture size and
the quality.
• Burst cannot be set in simple mode
[ ] and [STARRY SKY] in scene
mode.
• You can take pictures until the capacity of
the built-in memory or the card is full.
• The burst speed becomes slower if the
ISO sensitivity (P42, 60) is set to [ISO400]
or higher.
• The burst speed may become slower in
dark places because the shutter speed
becomes slower.
• The focus is fixed when the first picture is
taken.
• The exposure and the white balance are
adjusted for each 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 burst is used at this time, the
exposure may not become optimal.
• When the self-timer is used, the number
of recordable pictures in burst mode is
fixed to 3.
• Burst mode is not canceled when the
camera is switched off.
• When burst mode is set, the auto review
function is activated regardless of the auto
review setting. You cannot set the auto
review function in the [SETUP] menu.
Press [ ] to display the [REC] mode
menu and select the item to set. (P17)
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 wider than
usual is displayed and the
AF assist lamp A turns
on when you press the
shutter button halfway in dark places etc.
