DRIVE MODES

Continuous Adavance

In this mode, the camera continues to release the shutter and advance the film as long as the shutter-release button is held down.

The camera takes 3 frames per second, when setting the shutter-speed to above 1/125 second with flash cancel (p.37), single-shot autofocus or manual focus (p.75), and new batteries.*

*For the quartz-date model, the data-imprinting function is off (p.103).

1 Press the drive-mode

button until appears on the data panel.

2 Press and hold the shutter-

release button to begin taking a series of pictures.

• When taking flash pictures, the shutter will release only when the built-in flash finishes charging between exposures.

• With accessory flashes, the shutter will continue to release even if the flash is charging.

• With continuous AF and moving subjects, the shutter will release only when the camera has focused on the subject between exposures.

• To return to single frame mode, press the drive-mode button until appears on the data panel.

AF zoom xi and power zoom lenses cannot be zoomed when taking pictures with continuous adavance.

Custom Function Notes

Cust-1: Autofocus has priority (1), the shutter-release has priority (2) (p.108).

or the delay button.

• If the release button is pressed, the lamp on the front of the camera will blink once before the shutter releases. The audio signal will produce 1 short beep.

• If the delay button is pressed, the lamp on the front of the camera will blink for two seconds before the shutter releases. The audio signal will beep in unison with the lamp.

The remote control may not work under fluorescent lighting or in backlit situations.

If the built-in flash ‘pops-up’ when the release button on remote control is pressed, wait a few seconds for the flash to charge before pressing the release button again.

To save power, remote-control mode is canceled if the remote control is not operated for more than 5 minutes.

Attach the eyepiece cap if there is a bright light source behind the camera.
