The options available are the same as those for the Image quality setting in the shooting menu (A 88). However, the image quality setting in the sport continuous menu is stored separately and is not applied to other shooting modes. r Image size Choose the size (pixel count) for the pictures recorded. • When a high-speed continuous shooting setting is selected, only the C 2048×1536 (default setting), B 1600×1200, A 1280×960, J 1024×768, and K 640×480 image sizes are available. • When Continuous is selected as the sport continuous type, the image sizes available are the same as those for the Image size setting in the shooting menu (A 89). • The image size setting in the sport continuous menu is stored separately from the image size setting in other shooting modes and is not applied to the other modes. D Notes on High-Speed Continuous Shooting • Even if you choose D 2592×1944 or larger for the Image size setting while Continuous is selected as the sport continuous shooting type, the Image size setting will change to C 2048×1536 once you switch to Continuous H, Continuous M, or Continuous L. • As the ISO sensitivity is fixed at 640 and over during high-speed continuous shooting (H, M, L), proper exposure may not be obtained in clear weather (pictures may be overexposed). • If bright objects such as the sun or electric lights are captured during high-speed continuous shooting, vertical streaks of light may appear in the recorded images. We recommend that you avoid capturing bright objects during high-speed continuous shooting. 47
