may no longer be in focus when it reaches point B where you want to take the shot.

Quality and flash

When a Continuous shooting mode is selected, the Flash mode is forcibly set to “v” Suppressed flash.

to its previous value.

the shots, the photographed images are displayed
(in sequence from the left) and automatically
