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).
