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.
