HIGH-SPEED CONTINUOUS ADVANCE

High-speed continuous-advance allows a series of images to be captured rapidly. The rate of capture is approximately 3 fps with full-size images with manual focus in manual-exposure mode. The rate of capture decreases with images smaller than 2560 X 1920. The 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. The built-in flash can be used, but the rate of capture is reduced because the flash must recharge between frames. The following chart lists the maximum number of images that can be captured with different image-quality and image-size combinations.

If the low battery warning (p. 21) appears, the maximum number of images that can be captured will be reduced. Low power will also prevent RAW or super fine images to be captured in series; the shutter-release button must be pressed to capture each image.
