RECORDING MODE

Drive modes

The drive modes control the rate and method images are captured. Icons indicating the selected drive mode appear on the monitor. The drive mode is selected in the basic section of the recording-mode menu (p. 28). If auto reset (p.40) is active, the drive mode is reset to single-frame advance when the camera is turned off.

Single-frame advance

Continuous advance

The continuous-advance drive mode allows a series of images to be cap- tured while holding down the shutter-release button. The number of images that can be captured at one time and the rate of capture depend on the

image-quality and image-size setting. With the image-size setting of 2048 X 1536, the maximum rate of capture is 1.6 fps. If the image quality is set to super fine (p. 36) only one frame can be captured at a time. Continuous advance is selected in the basic section of the recording-mode menu (p. 28).

Compose the picture as described in the basic recording operation

1

section (p. 23). Press the shutter-release button partway down to lock

 

the exposure and focus for the series. Press and hold the shutter-

 

release button all the way down (1) to begin taking pic-

 

tures. 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. Date imprinting (p.46) also reduces

 

the rate of capture. The frame counter is adjusted after

 

the series has been taken while the images are being

 

saved.

 

Single-frame advance allows only one image to be captured each time the shutter-release button is pressed. This is the camera’s default setting.

The chart lists the maximum number of images that can be captured with different image- quality and image-size combinations.
