w Focusing in burst mode
The focus changes depending on the setting for [FOCUS PRIORITY] (P128) in the
[CUSTOM MENU] menu and the focus mode setting.
_1 When subject is dark, 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.
Note
• We recommend using the remote shutter (DMW-RSL1; optional) when you want to keep the
shutter button pressed fully while taking pictures in burst mode. Refer to P163 for information
about the remote shutter.
• When the burst speed is set to [H], 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 [L],
they are adjusted each time you take a 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.
• Since the shutter speed becomes slower in dark places, the burst speed (pictures/second) may
become slower.
• The auto review function is activated regardless of the auto review setting. (Will not enlarge/
hold) You cannot set the auto review function in the [SETUP] menu.
• When the flash is activated, you can take only 1 picture.
• White balance bracket (P84) will record 3 pictures at 1 recording, so it will take longer to
be able to take next picture.
• Maximum of 3 films will be recorded depending on the multi film bracket setting during
the multi film bracket recording (P88).
• The burst mode is disabled during recording of the motion pictures.
