# Cautions
• The confirmation display is not available during sequential shooting at frame rates under 5
fps. At rates of 5 fps or above, the last photo taken will be displayed during shooting.
• During sequential shooting, if the battery check blinks due to low battery, the camera
stops shooting and starts saving the pictures you have taken on the card. The camera
may not save all of the pictures depending on how much battery power remains.
• Display quality may drop during sequential shooting. Filter effects are not reflected in the
display.
• Fix the camera securely on a tripod for self-timer shooting.
• If you stand in front of the camera to press the shutter button halfway when using the self-
timer, the photograph may be out of focus.
