your specified delay time, but specifying the number of shots has
no effect.
● When you specify multiple shots, image brightness and color tone
are determined by the first shot. More time is required between
shots when the flash fires or when you have specified to take
many shots. Shooting will stop automatically when the memory
card becomes full.
● When a delay longer than two seconds is specified, two seconds
before the shot, the lamp blinking and self-timer sound will speed
up. (The lamp will remain lit in case the flash fires.)
