![](screens/UG-06_s0140_M.png)
The estimated maximum burst is shown on the top of the shooting screen.
Note
- When the maximum burst in still photo shooting is indicated as “99,” you can shoot 99 shots or more continuously. Fewer shots are available for a value of 98 or lower, and when [BUSY] is displayed on the shooting screen, internal memory is full and shooting will stop temporarily. If you stop continuous shooting, the maximum burst will increase. After all captured images have been written to a card, you can once again shoot at the maximum burst listed in Specifications.
