Notes about [Noise reduction burst]

If the subject moves or there is a significant camera shake during continuous shooting, the image may be distorted, overlapped, or blurred.
The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved image is narrower than that seen on the shooting screen.
Continuous shooting may not be possible in certain shooting conditions.
