Pre-shooting cache
When the pre-shooting cache is used, it improves the chance of capturing a good
picture. Up to five frames are recorded just before the shutter-release button is
pressed down fully. The camera starts shooting when the shutter-release button is
pressed down halfway, and shoots pictures continuously when the button is then
pressed down fully (
A65).
The shooting ends when the shutter-release button is released or 25 frames have
been shot continuously.
• Frame rate: Maximum 15 fps
• Number of continuously shot frames: Up to 25 frames (including a pre-shooting
cache of up to five frames)

Image quality
Image quality ( A75) settings can be changed. This is stored in the camera's
memory independently and is not applied to the settings in any other shooting
mode.
