USING THE PROGRESSIVE-CAPTURE MODEThe Progressive-Capture drive mode continuously records images while holding down the shutter-release button. When the shutter button is released, the images stored in the camera’s buffer memory are saved. This drive mode is set in section 1 of the recording menus.
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 and exposure for the series.
Press and hold the shutter-release button all the way down (2) to begin taking pictures; focus and exposure are 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 last twenty images are saved. The rate of capture is 10fps regardless of the image-quality setting. Image size is fixed at 1024x768.

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 happens, release the shutter button to save the recorded series. The flash cannot be used. When the red low-battery warning is displayed, these drive modes cannot be used.
