ZOOM RS Sequential Image Cache) when you think the criti- cal moment you want to capture is near. Five sequential im- ages are then cached in the on-board 9 Mb buffer, and are rolled over as long as the shutter button remains halfway depressed.

In the pre-capture mode, the sixth image overwrites the num- ber one image, number seven overwrites the number two pre-captured image and so-on until the shutter button is ei- ther depressed fully, moving the camera into the sequential “capture” mode or the shutter button is released stopping the

pre-capture and capture altogether. This guarantees that you will not suffer from missed opportunities due to shutter lag and allows you to capture the precise moment you need.

Walter Urie comments, “going back to the motorcycle races I shoot with the CAMEDIA E-100 ZOOM RS, I wanted to catch the riders, which were going very, very fast at an exact spot on the curve using a panning technique. I was following the ac- tion and as the riders entered the designated area, I started to depress the shutter button halfway down. Out of 100 pans, I was able to capture accurately and with precision 95 pans.”
