* Average frame rate with an EN-EL15a battery, continuous-servo AF, manual or shutter-priority
auto exposure, a shutter speed of
1
/ 250 s or faster, remaining settings (or in the case of CL,
remaining settings other than Custom Setting d1) at default values, and memory remaining in
memory buffer. The stated rates may not be available under some conditions. Frame rates may
drop at high ISO sensitivities (Hi 0.3–Hi 5) or at extremely small apertures (high f-numbers) or
slow shutter speeds, when vibration reduction (available with VR lenses) or auto ISO sensitivity
control (0 120) is on, when certain lenses are used, or if the battery is low or flicker is detected
when flicker reduction is enabled in the photo shooting menu (0 255). Only one picture will
be taken if the flash fires.
A The Memory Buffer
The camera is equipped with a memory buffer for temporary storage,
allowing shooting to continue while photographs are being saved to
the memory card. The frame rate will drop when the buffer is full (tAA).
The approximate number of images that can be stored in the buffer at
current settings is shown in the exposure-count displays while the
shutter-release button is pressed.
While photographs are being recorded to the memory card, the
memory card access lamp will light. Depending on shooting
conditions and memory card performance, recording may take from a
few seconds to a few minutes. Do not remove the memory card or
remove or disconnect the power source until the access lamp has gone
out. If the camera is switched off while data remain in the buffer, the
power will not turn off until all images in the buffer have been
recorded. If the battery is exhausted while images remain in the buffer,
the shutter release will be disabled and the images transferred to the
memory card.
