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.

Compose the picture as described in the basic recording operation section (p. 22). Press the shutter- release button partway down (1) to lock the focus exposure for the series.

Press and hold the shutter-release button all the way down (2) to begin taking pictures; focus is locked with the first frame. When the shutter-release button is pressed and held, 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.
