CONTINUOUS-ADVANCE NOTES

CONTINUOUS ADVANCE

The continuous-advance drive mode can capture images at a rate of approximately 2.2 fps. When single-shot AF is used, focus and exposure is locked with the first frame. Focus and exposure is set for each image when the continuous-AF focus mode is used, but the rate of capture is reduced. When the red low-battery warning appears, or the flash or noise reduction (p. 39) is used, the rate of capture is also reduced.

The following chart lists the approximate maximum number of images that can be captured.

UHS CONTINUOUS ADVANCE

UHS continuous-advance captures up to twenty 1024x768 images at approximately 10fps regardless of the image quality setting. Focus and exposure is locked with the first frame. The flash and the digital zoom cannot be used. When the red low-battery warning is displayed or when the frame counter shows three or fewer frames remaining, this drive mode cannot be used.

Shutter speeds must be 1/25 second or faster. A high camera sensitivity (ISO) is used allowing faster shutter speed to be set; sensitivity cannot be set manually. 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.
