of pictures you can take continuously will appear. You can check
the approximate number of pictures that can be taken before the
burst speed slows down.
Example: When 20 pictures can be taken: [r20]
• Once recording starts, the maximum number of pictures that can be taken continuously will
decrease. When [r0] appears, the burst speed will slow down.
• When [r99+] is displayed, you can take 100 or more pictures continuously.
Focusing in Burst Mode
The way focus is achieved varies according to the focus mode (P142) setting and the
[Focus/Release Priority] (P157) 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.
