What if the number of shots is set to two or more shots?

•

Exposure and white balance settings are set with the first shot.

•

If the flash fires or you set a high number of shots, the shooting interval may take
longer than usual.

•

If the memory card fills, shooting stops automatically.

When you set the delay for more than 2 seconds, the lamp and self-timer
sound speed up 2 seconds before the shutter releases (the lamp remains
lit when the flash will fire).
