– During SH burst recording: When [r0] appears, the burst recording stops.

Also, the [r] indication continues to be displayed after recording until the number of pictures that can be taken continuously returns to the maximum.

Focus when Taking Burst Pictures

With estimated focus, the burst rate takes priority and the focus is estimated to the extent possible.

With normal focus, the burst rate may become slow.
