Shooting with Multi-Shot
If you switch to Multi-Shot, you can shoot consecutive images. 
Multi-shot can be classified into the following types:
CONT (Multi-Shot)
As long as you hold the shutter button 
down, pictures continue to be taken.
The still images are recorded one file 
each, just as in normal shooting.
S (Stream) Multi-Shot
With just one full-press of the shutter, you 
can take 16 consecutive shots at 
intervals of 1/7.5 second in about 2.2 
seconds. The 16 still images are grouped 
together as a set and are recorded as 
one image file (2592 × 1944 pixels).
M (Memory-reversal) Multi-Shot
The camera memorizes the scene while you hold the shutter release 
button down, and once you release it the previous 2.2 seconds of 
shots are recorded.
The 16 still images are grouped together as a set and are recorded 
as one image file (2592 × 1944 pixels).

image size setting as follows:

are as shown in the table below.
• When shooting images consecutively using an SD memory card, the shot images can be 
recorded normally until the SD memory card becomes full. Once the number of

image recording speed becomes slow. (This depends on the image size setting.)
