DVANCED RECORDING
HIGH-SPEED CONTINUOUS ADVANCE
Compose the picture as described in the basic recording section
(p. 27). Press the shutter-release button partway down (1) to lock
the exposure and focus for the series. Press and hold the shut-
ter-release button all the way down (2) to begin taking pictures.
The monitor will be blank when recording full size images.
If the low battery warning (p. 21) appears, the maximum number
of images that can be captured will be reduced. Low power will
also prevent RAW or super fine images to be captured in series;
the shutter-release button must be pressed to capture each
image.
High-speed continuous-advance allows a series of images to be captured rapidly. The rate of capture
is approximately 3 fps with full-size images with manual focus in manual-exposure mode. The rate of
capture decreases with images smaller than 2560 X 1920. The continuous-advance mode is set with
the function dial (p. 48).
When the shutter-release button is pressed and held, the camera will begin recording images until
the maximum number has been taken or the shutter button is released. The built-in flash can be
used, but the rate of capture is reduced because the flash must recharge between frames. The fol-
lowing chart lists the maximum number of images that can be captured with different image-quality
and image-size combinations.
