Therefore, it takes one minute or longer per shooting. Further time is required for storing the image onto a card. • In the noise reduction mode, the burst mode cannot be used. • In the noise reduction mode, you cannot take a picture while the memory gauge is displayed in the control panel. • This function may not work well with some shooting conditions or subjects. • The noise reduction function is for prolonged shooting and consumes more battery power. Therefore the shooting may not be completed depending on the type or condition of the batteries. In that case, use an optional B-12LPB/B-10LPB lithium polymer battery or CAMEDIA-brand AC adapter. • If you repeat a prolonged shooting, the number of pictures which can be taken may be severely reduced. 116
