Restrictions on Camera Settings
At settings other than Single, the fl ash ( 38) and BSS ( 70) turn off and focus, ex-
posure, and white balance for all pictures are determined by the fi rst shot in each series.
Continuous is automatically set to Single when the self-timer is activated (

BSS is enabled ( 70). Digital zoom ( 17) can not be used with Multi-shot 16.
The Memory Buffer
During shooting, pictures are stored in a temporary memory buffer before being transferred
to internal memory or to the memory card for permanent storage. The number of pictures
that can be stored depends on image mode; the maximum at Normal (2288) is eight.
When the buffer is full, a (wait) icon will be displayed and shooting will be suspended.
More pictures can be taken as soon as enough memory becomes available in the buffer.

At settings other than Single, the current “continuous” set-
ting is shown by an icon in the display.
