Note
• During [i] and [7], the flash is not available.
• Sequential shooting is not available when [NOISE REDUCTION] is set to [ON].
• [j] and [k] are not available when record mode is set to [RAW].
• As the maximum shutter speed is set to 1/30 sec., adequate exposure is not
obtained when shooting a dark subject in modes other than S and M.
• If the battery power is low and f blinks during sequential shooting, shooting
stops and the camera starts saving the pictures you have taken. Whether or not

all of the shots are saved depends on how much battery power remains.
Timelapse shooting
Shooting is automatically repeated as defined by set conditions. This is
suitable, for example, for taking regular pictures of the opening of a flower
bud. If you will be taking pictures over a long period, make sure to use fully
charged batteries or the AC adapter.
