 •You can record a series of still pictures successively until the card or built-in memory 
is full, but at some point the burst speed drops. (The timing at which the burst speed 
drops varies depending on the type of card and the number of recording pixels.)
 
Focus is fixed from first picture. Exposure and White Balance is adjusted for each 
picture.
 
The camera automatically fixes a succession of still pictures into three when the self-
timer is used.
 
Burst speed may be reduced if ISO Sensitivity is set to high, or if shutter speed is 
reduced in darker locations.
 
When burst is selected, the flash is disabled. 
 
When you record subjects in motion where there is a significant difference between
