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.
