STANDARD AND HIGH SPEED CONTINUOUS ADVANCEContinuous-advance mode allows a series of images to be captured while holding down the shutter- release button. Continuous advance acts like a motor drive on a film camera. The number of images that can be captured at one time depends on the image-quality setting; five with RAW images, and three with the other options. 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. The built-in flash can be used, but the rate of capture is reduced because the flash must recharge between frames.

Standard continuous advance
High-speed continuous advance
Continuous advance - captures a series of images at 2.0fps. When used with continuous autofocus, the camera will adjust the focus during the series. The live image will be briefly displayed between frames.
High-speed continuous advance - captures a series of full-size images at 2.8fps. The rate of capture decreases with images smaller than 2560 X 1920. Focus is locked with the first frame regardless of the focusing mode. The live image will freeze during the series.
