However the burst speed will become slower halfway. The exact timing of this depends on the aspect ratio, the picture size, the setting for the quality and the type of card used.
169 7. Shutter and Drive Settings Focusing in Burst Mode The method for achieving focus varies depending on the focus mode (P139) and the [Focus/Release Priority] (P149) setting in the [Custom] menu. ¢1 When the subject is dark or the burst speed is set to [SH], the focus is fixed on the first picture. ¢ 2 The burst speed may become slower because the camera is continuously focusing on the subject. ¢ 3 Burst speed takes priority, and focus is estimated within possible range. •We recommend using the shutter remote control (DMW-RSL1: optional) when you want to keep the shutter button pressed fully while taking pictures in Burst Mode. Refer to P321 for information about the shutter remote control. •When the burst speed is set to [SH] or [H] (when the Focus mode is [AFS] or [MF]), the exposure and White Balance are fixed at the settings used for the first picture for the subsequent pictures as well. When the burst speed is set to [H] (when the Focus mode is [AFF] or [AFC]), [M] or [L], they are adjusted each time you take a picture. •Since the shutter speed becomes slower in dark places, the burst speed (pictures/second) may become slower. •Depending on the operating conditions, it may take time to take the next picture if you repeat the recording of pictures. •It may take time to save pictures taken in Burst Mode on the card. If you take pictures continuously while saving, the maximum number of recordable pictures decreases. For continuous shooting, use of a high speed memory card is recommended.
