 and the type and/or 
status of the card used.
*3   Pictures can be taken until the card becomes full. However , the burst speed will become 
slower halfway through the recording. The exact time when the slower burst speed will start 
depends on the settings of the aspect ratio, picture size, and quality a\
s well as the type of
