DContinuous Mode

The maximum number of shots that can be taken in a single burst varies with the release mode. At frame rates of 30 and 60 fps, the maximum number of shots that can be taken in a single burst is 15.

The built-in flash can be used when 5 fps is selected, but only one picture will be taken each time the shutter-release button is pressed; at settings of 15, 30, and 60 fps, the built-in flash will not fire.

While photographs are being recorded to the memory card, the memory card access lamp will light. Depending on shooting conditions and memory card write speed, recording may take some time. If the battery is exhausted before all photographs are recorded, the shutter release will be disabled and the remaining images transferred to the memory card.

Continuous shooting is not available in creative modes other than P, S, A, or M, in best moment capture, advanced movie, or Motion Snapshot mode, or when live image control is used in auto mode (0 27).

ABuffer Size

The camera is equipped with a memory t buffer for temporary storage, allowing shooting to continue while photographs are being saved to the memory card. Note that the frame rate will drop or shooting will

pause when the buffer is full. The approximate number of images that can be stored in

the memory buffer at current settings is displayed while the shutter- release button is pressed halfway (this number is an approximation only and varies with shooting conditions; 0 179). The illustration shows the display when space remains in the buffer for about 22 pic- tures.
