Flash cannot be used with the advanced drive modes.

Focus and exposure are locked at the first frame of a series. When the red low-battery warning is displayed, these modes cannot be used. Because of the limits to the shutter speeds, images may be underexposed in low-light conditions.

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.

UHS Continuous Advance

UHS continuous-advance mode captures up to 15 images at approximately 10fps while holding down the shutter-release button. The image size is fixed at 640x480. Digital zoom cannot be used. Image quality may be slightly lower than normal.

Operation is the same as that of continuous-advanced mode: compose the picture, and press and hold the shutter-release button all the way down; the camera will begin recording images until the shutter-button is released.

Camera Notes

Noise reduction is applied automatically when the camera temperature is high or slow shutter speed is required. When processing is applied, the message is displayed after each exposure and next picture cannot be taken during this period. The rate of capture of continuous advance reduces.

Progressive Capture

The Progressive-Capture drive mode continuously records images while holding down the shutter- release button. With standard 3264 x 2448 images, the approximate rate of capture is 0.5 fps. When the shutter button is released, the last three images stored in the cameraís buffer memory are saved.

Compose the picture as described in the basic recording operation section (p. 25). Press and hold the shutter-release button all the way down to begin taking pictures.

When the event has ended, release the shutter to save the images in the camera memory:The number of images in the memory depends on the image size and quality; three images are saved with standard 3264 x 2448 images, while 20 images are saved with economy 1600 x 1200 images.

The advantage of Progressive Capture over the continuous-advance drive mode is that it allows you to record events without the need to predict when the event will start. Simply hold the shutter- release button down to start saving images, and when the action ends, release the shutter button to save the recorded series.

Progressive Capture can only be used when there is enough space available on the memory card to record an entire series of images. Digital zoom cannot be used.

UHS Progressive Capture

UHS Progressive Capture drive mode is the same as standard Progressive Capture, except the maximum number of recorded images is 15, the rate of capture is approximately 10fps, and the image size is fixed at 640x480. The frame counter must show 15 frames or more to use UHS Progressive Capture.

Digital zoom cannot be used. Image quality may be slightly lower than normal.
