Continuous-advance notes

CONTINUOUS ADVANCE

The number of images that can be captured at one time depend on the image-quality and image-size setting. The maximum rate of capture is approximately 1.5 fps. The built-in flash can be used, but the rate of capture is reduced because the flash must recharge between frames. Date imprinting (p. 92) also reduces the rate of capture.

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

UHS CONTINUOUS ADVANCE

UHS continuous-advance captures up to ten 1280x960 images at 10fps regardless of the image quality setting. The built-in flash cannot be used. When the red low-battery warning is displayed, this drive mode cannot be used.

During recording, the live image can be seen. When the maximum number of frames is captured, the last frame of the series is displayed. A thumbnail of each frame in the series is shown in a six-frame index display while being saved; the first six image are replaced by the following images after they are displayed.

Very bright light sources in the scene may cause streaks to appear on the image. Black areas caused by data loss may also be apparent.
