right of the viewfinder.

 

 

If “9” is displayed, it indicates that the maximum burst is nine or more shots. If “6” is displayed, it is six shots.

While you are shooting and the number of shots remaining in the maximum burst is fewer than 9, the viewfinder will display “8”, “7”, etc. If you stop the continuous shooting, the maximum burst will increase.

After all the captured images are processed and written to the CF card, the above table’s figures for the maximum burst will apply.

With white balance bracketing (p.65), the maximum burst will be lower. The maximum burst is displayed even when the drive mode is set to <u> (Single) or <j>. The maximum burst is displayed even when a CF card is not in the camera. Therefore, before shooting, make sure that a CF card is installed in the camera.
