A
UTO-RECORDING MODE - ADVANCED OPERATION
The continuous-advance drive mode allows a series of images to be captured while holding down the
shutter-release button. Continuous advance acts like a motor drive on a film camera. The number of
images that can be captured at one time and the rate of capture depend on the image-quality and
image-size setting. The maximum rate of capture is 1.2 fps with the shutter FX on (p. 101), or 1.5 fps
with it off. Date imprinting lowers the frame rate. The continuous-advance mode is set on the auto-
recording mode menu and in the basic section of the multi-function recording mode menu (p. 56).
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.
Super-fine images (p. 48) cannot be captured. The built-in flash can be used, but the
rate of capture is reduced because the flash must recharge between frames.
Compose the picture as described in the basic recording operation section (p. 26).
Press the shutter-release button partway down to lock onto the
subject and set the exposure for the series. Press and hold the
shutter-release button all the way down (1) to begin taking pic-
tures; focus is locked with the first frame.
The following chart lists the maximum number of images that can
be captured with different image-quality and image-size combina-
tions.
