Focusing in Burst Mode
The method for achieving focus varies depending on the focus mode (P139) and the
[Focus/Release Priority] (P149) setting in the [Custom] menu.
¢1 When the subject is dark or the burst speed is set to [SH], the focus is fixed on the first
picture.
¢2 The burst speed may become slower because the camera is continuously focusing on the
subject.
¢3 Burst speed takes priority, and focus is estimated within possible range.
•We recommend using the shutter remote control (DMW-RSL1: optional) when you want to
keep the shutter button pressed fully while taking pictures in Burst Mode. Refer to P321 for
information about the shutter remote control.
•When the burst speed is set to [SH] or [H] (when the Focus mode is [AFS] or [MF]), the
exposure and White Balance are fixed at the settings used for the first picture for the
subsequent pictures as well. When the burst speed is set to [H] (when the Focus mode is [AFF]
or [AFC]), [M] or [L], they are adjusted each time you take a picture.
•Since the shutter speed becomes slower in dark places, the burst speed (pictures/second) may
become slower.
•Depending on the operating conditions, it may take time to take the next picture if you repeat
the recording of pictures.
•It may take time to save pictures taken in Burst Mode on the card. If you take pictures
continuously while saving, the maximum number of recordable pictures decreases. For
continuous shooting, use of a high speed memory card is recommended.
