The 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. The flash cannot be used.

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 begins recording.

Release the shutter (3) to save the images in the camera memory: the last ten images are saved. The rate of capture is 1.8fps regardless of the image size or quality setting.

When a series is captured, a thumbnail of each image is shown in an index display while being saved.

Progressive capture can only be used when there is enough space available on the memory card to record an entire series of images. The memory card must have enough space to save at least ten frames to use progressive capture.

The full version of DiMAGE Master gives you all the tools to organize, examine, and process your images. The Organizer window allows you to sort images quickly into four user-defined classifica- tions. Outtakes can easily be hidden from view without the need to delete or remove them from the folder.

Is it difficult to decide which image is the best? The Examiner window allows you to compare up to four images for differences between color, exposure, white balance, and focus by sampling areas in each image.

The Photofinisher window has many features to process large numbers of images quickly. Jobs can be created for specific adjustments and applied to other images as well as used for batch processing. Processing can be simply cut and pasted from one picture to another.

A luminance limit can be specified on the histogram and displayed on an image to show the pixels which are approaching the black and white levels. The focus checker enlarges the image so sharpness can be determined. These tools are available in the Organizer, Examiner, and Photofinisher.
