Using High Speed CS and Prerecord CS
With High Speed CS, you can configure the camera to shoot at a speed of 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 30, or 40 images per second, as long as you keep the shutter button and there is memory available to store the images. With Prerecord CS, half-pressing the shutter button starts continual pre-recording of images to a temporary buffer. Then when you press the shutter button the rest of the way down, the camera stores what is currently in the buffer and starts real-time continuous shutter recording of new images. Real- time recording continues until you release the shutter button or until a total of up to 30 images (buffer images plus new images) are recorded. You can configure Prerecord CS to specify how many of the 30 images are recorded in the buffer and how many are recorded after you fully press the shutter button. Use Prerecord CS when you want to make sure you do not miss fast-moving action.

*You can record up to 30 images (pre-recorded buffer images plus real-time images) for each Prerecord CS operation.
•You can specify 5, 10, 20, or 30 as the maximum number of shots for each continuous shutter operation.
•You can specify anywhere from 0.75 seconds up to 30 seconds as the continuous shutter shooting time, which is the amount of time of the pre-record buffer plus the amount of time that continuous shutter recording is performed after the shutter button is pressed all the way. The maximum shooting time depends on the selected CS speed. You can select a CS speed in the range of 1 to 30 fps.

•You can configure the mode so up to 25 images are pre-recorded to the buffer until you fully press the shutter button.
•The minimum number of pre-recorded buffer images you can specify is three. Total recording time depends on the current continuous shutter frames-per-second (fps) setting.
•Specifying zero for the number of pre-recorded images disables Prerecord CS and performs High Speed CS only (without pre-recording).
