Pictures can be taken until the card becomes full. However, the burst speed will become slower halfway through the recording. The number of burst pictures is limited by the picture-taking conditions and the type and/or status of the card used.
About the maximum number of pictures that can be taken continuously
When you press the shutter button halfway, the maximum number of pictures you can take continuously will appear. You can check the approximate number of pictures that can be taken before the burst speed slows down.
Example: When 20 pictures can be taken: [r20]
- Once recording starts, the maximum number of pictures that can be taken continuously will decrease. When [r0] appears, the burst speed will slow down.
- When [r99+] is displayed, you can take 100 or more pictures continuously.
