Shooting Menu (j, k, l or m Mode) Option Description BSS is recommended for shooting under low lighting without the flash, with the camera zoomed in, or in other D BSS (Best Shot Selector) situations in which camera shake is likely to blur pictures. Keep pressing the shutter-release button all the way, and up to ten pictures are shot and the camera automatically selects and saves only the sharpest picture in the series. W Multi-shot 16 Each time the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, the camera shoots 16 pictures at a rate of about 30 frames per second and arranges them in a single picture. • The image quality is fixed at Normal and the image size is fixed at D (2560 × 1920 pixels). • The digital zoom is not available. X Intvl timer shooting The camera shoots still pictures automatically at the specified interval (E43). The icon for the current setting other than Single is displayed on the monitor (A8). Reference Section B Notes on Continuous Shooting • Focus, exposure and white balance are fixed at the values determined with the first shot in each series. • The frame rate may become slower depending on the image quality, image size, memory card type or shooting conditions. • When ISO sensitivity (E45) is set to 3200 or Hi 1, the frame rate becomes slower. • This feature may not be used in combination with certain features. See "Features That Cannot Be Used Simultaneously" (A80) for more information. B Note on BSS BSS is suited for shooting stationary subjects. BSS may not produce the desired results if the subject moves or the composition changes. B Note on Multi-shot 16 Banding or variance in brightness or hue may occur in images that were captured under lighting that flashes quickly at high speeds, such as fluorescent, mercury-vapor, or sodium-vapor lighting. B Notes on Continuous H • It may take some time to save the images after shooting. The amount of time it takes to finish saving the captured images depends on the number of images, the write speed of the memory card, etc. • When ISO sensitivity increases, noise may appear in captured images. • Accurate exposure may not be achieved (images may be overexposed) in images captured on bright sunny days. • Banding or variance in brightness or hue may occur in images that were captured under lighting that flashes quickly, such as fluorescent, mercury-vapor, or sodium-vapor lighting.
