Maximum Burst During Continuous Shooting
The maximum burst during continuous shooting indicated on the
preceding page is the number
of continuous shots that can be taken
without stopping, based on a formatted 4GB card.
The number is displayed on the bottom
right
in the viewfinder. If the maximum
burst
is 99 or higher, "99" will be
displayed.
-- ~ The maximum burst is displayed even when a card is not inserted in the
camera. Make sure that a card
is loaded before taking a picture.
@ If [,9.C.Fn II -2: High ISO speed noise reduction] is set to [2: Strong],
the maximum burst will be greatly reduced (p.208).
[]] Ifthe viewfinder displays "99" for the maximum burst, it means the maximum
burst is 99 or higher. If the maximum burst decreases to 98 or lower and the
internal buffer memory becomes
fUll, "buSY" will be displayed in the
viewfinder and
on the LCD panel and shooting will be disabled temporarily.
If you stop the continuous shooting, the maximum burst will increase. After
all the captured images are written to the card, the maximum burst will be as
listed on page 59.
