    • When [Shutter Type] is set to [Mechanical Shutter], and the F-value is greater than F22.
    • When [Shutter Type] is set to [Electronic Shutter], the F-value is greater than F22, [File Format] is set to [JPEG]/[HEIF], and the continuous shooting speed is set to [30 images/s].
    • When [Shutter Type] is set to [Electronic Shutter], the F-value is greater than F22, [File Format] is set to [RAW]/[RAW & JPEG]/[RAW & HEIF], [RAW File Type] is set to [Lossless Comp]/[Compressed(HQ)], and the continuous shooting speed is set to [15 images/s] or faster.
