Notes on Sport Continuous Shooting
• A longer period of time is taken to record the images after shooting ends. The time taken until
recording ends may vary, depending upon the amount of images taken, image quality setting,
image size setting and the write speed of the memory card used.
• The exposure will be set automatically. When High-speed mode ( A58) is set to Continuous H
or Continuous H (16:9), the shutter speed is set automatically within the range of 1/4000 to 1/20 s.
• Pictures taken in this mode may appear grainy as the ISO sensitivity is set to a high value.
• As the ISO level is fixed at 640 or higher, the camera may fail to obtain the proper exposure in fine
weather (pictures may be over-exposed).
• Exposure and white balance values may be unstable when shooting pictures under high-speed
flickering fluorescent lights or mercury lamps.
• Note that shooting will stop if you raise or lower the built-in flash while fully depressing the shutter-
release button.
• The flash mode ( A32) is locked to W (off ).
• The focus mode ( A36) settings can be changed. If the setting is changed to A (autofocus)
(default setting) or D (macro close-up) in sport continuous mode, the focus mode setting will be
changed to Full-time AF (
A125).
• Exposure compensation ( A39) settings can be changed.
• Self-timer cannot be used.
• AF assist illuminator does not light, even if AF assist (
A145) is set.

Notes on Continuous H (16:9) and Continuous H
If very bright objects such as the sun or lights are captured in Continuous H (16:9) or Continuous H
mode, vertical streaks of light (known as “smear”) may appear in the recorded image. Parts or the
entire image around the border of the smear may turn dark or green in color. To prevent this from
happening we recommend that you avoid capturing those bright objects directly when shooting.
