frames per second.*
While shutter button is held down, camera records up to
3 frames per second.* Use to photograph moving objects
or to capture a fleeting expression on portrait subjects.
Use the self-timer for self-portraits or to reduce blurring
caused by camera shake (➝p.101).
Press shutter button once to raise mirror, again to take
photograph (shutter will be released automatically if
shutter button is not pressed for 30 sec. after mirror up).

Choose this mode to minimize camera shake in situations
in which the least camera movement can result in blurred
photographs. Note that autofocus, metering, and framing
cannot be confirmed in the viewfinder while mirror is
raised.
*If the following conditions apply: Average frame rate
with continuous-servo AF, manual or shutter-priority
auto exposure, a shutter speed of 1/250s or faster, ISO
200, [100% (STD)] is selected for [ D-RANGE] in the
[SHOOTING MENU], and enough memory remains in
memory buffer.
MEMO
When (continuous low speed) or (continuous high
speed) is selected, the continuous shooting speed and
interval may be slower, depending on the setting for [
D-RANGE] in the [SHOOTING MENU].
