of pictures that can be stored in buffer depends on
options selected for image quality and size (see table

recorded at the orientation for the fi rst picture in each
series, even if the camera orientation is changed dur-
ing shooting. For example, if the fi rst picture is taken
with the camera in horizontal orientation, all pictures
in the series will be recorded in "wide" (landscape)
orientation, even if the camera is rotated to vertical
orientation during shooting.
