Progressive-capture mode

The Progressive-Capture drive mode continuously records images while holding down the shutter-release button. When the shutter button is released, the last six images stored in the camera’s buffer memory are recorded. This drive mode is set in section 1 of the recording menu. When the red low- battery warning is displayed, these drive modes cannot be used. Fine image quality (p. 51) cannot be used in this mode.

Bracketing

This mode makes a three-image bracket of a scene. Bracketing is a method of taking a series of images of a static subject in which each image has a slight variation in exposure. The bracketing mode is set in section 1 of the recording menus.

Immediately after selecting the bracketing option on the menu, a selection screen is displayed to select the bracketing increment.

the camera will begin recording.

Release the shutter (3) to save the images in the camera memory. The Progressive Capture records the last six images saved in the camera’s buffer memory. When a series is captured, a thumbnail of each image is shown in an index display while being saved.

If the continuous AF focus mode (p. 54) is selected, the focus for the series is not locked. The AF system focuses between each frame. The exposure for the series is locked when the shutter- release button is pressed partway down.

The maximum rate of capture is approximately 1.0 fps. The use of the continuous-AF focus mode reduces the rate of capture. The built-in flash and date imprinting (p. 93) cannot be used.

Press the left/right keys of the controller to select the bracketing increment. Press the central button of the controller to set the value. To change the increment, select the bracketing drive mode again with the menu.
