DVANCED RECORDING
The drive modes control the rate and method images are captured. Icons indi-
cating the selected drive mode appear on the data panel and LCD monitor and
in the EVF. See setting the function dial section on page 48.
DRIVE MODES
Single-frame advance – to take a single image each time the shutter-release button is
pressed.
Continuous advance – to take multiple images when the shutter-release button is
pressed and held.
Self-timer – to delay the release of the shutter. Used for self-portraits.
Bracketing – to take a series of images with differing exposure, contrast, saturation, and
color.
Interval – to take a series of images over a period of time.
All icons have been shown for clarity. The single-frame advance
and continuous advance indicators occupy the same area of the
data panel. All the drive-mode icons appear at the same location
in the monitors.
When a large amount of image data is captured in a short span
of time, the camera’s internal buffer memory becomes full. Time
must be given for this data to be written to the memory card.
Depending on the battery power level, the frame counter or
drive-mode indicator turns yellow on the monitors (see chart).
Wait for the indicator to turn white before capturing more
images.
UHS continuous advance – to take multiple 1280 X 960 images at approximately 7
frames per second.
High-speed continuous advance – to take multiple images at size and quality setting
approximately 3 frames per second.
