UHS CONTINUOUS ADVANCE

UHS continuous-advance mode allows a series of 1280 X 960 images to be captured at a rate of approximately 7 frames per second; image size is changed to 640 X 480 when the digital zoom is used. The number of images that can be captured at one time depends on the image-quality setting: extra fine – 32 frames, fine – 62 frames, and standard – 100 frames. This mode cannot be used with super-fine or RAW image quality, flash illumination, or Digital Subject Programs. If image quality is set to RAW or super fine before selecting the drive mode, it is reset to fine. Shutter speeds slower than 1/8th of a second cannot be used. If the low battery power indicator (p. 21) appears, the shutter cannot be released. The UHS continuous-advance mode is set with the function dial (p. 48).

When the shutter-release button is pressed and held, the camera will begin recording images until the maximum number has been taken or the shutter button is released.

Compose the picture as described in the basic recording section (p. 27). Press the shut-

ter-release button partway down (1) to lock the exposure and focus for the series. Press

 

and hold the shutter-release button all the way down (2) to begin taking pictures. Very bright light sources in the image may cause streaking. A recorded image may show black areas caused by a loss of data. After the series is captured, the monitor will remain blank while the images are saved.

UHS CONTINUOUS-ADVANCE MOVIES

By turning on the UHS movie function in the advanced 1 section of the recording-mode menu, a sep- arate VGA (640 X 480) movie file with audio will be created automatically from the captured still images. When the function is active, the movie camera icon is displayed next to the

UHS continuous-advance indicator on the monitors. The time required to make the movie file is approximately equal to the recording time, the monitor will be blank and the access lamp will glow during that period. The shutter sound effect is disabled.
