A The Memory Buffer

 

 

 

The camera is equipped with a memory buffer for temporary storage, allowing shooting to

 

 

 

continue while photographs are being saved to the memory card. Up to 100 photographs

 

 

k

 

can be taken in succession; note, however, that frame rate will drop when the buffer is full.

 

 

While photographs are being recorded to the memory card, the access lamp next to the

 

 

 

 

memory card slot will light. Depending on the number of the images in the buffer,

 

 

 

recording may take from a few seconds to a few minutes. Do not remove the memory card or

 

 

 

remove or disconnect the power source until the access lamp has gone out. If the camera is

 

 

 

switched off while data remain in the buffer, the power will not turn off until all images in the

 

 

 

buffer have been recorded. If the battery is exhausted while images remain in the buffer, the

 

 

 

shutter release will be disabled and the images transferred to the memory card.

 

 

 

A Continuous Release Mode

 

 

 

Continuous release mode (I) can not be used with the built-in flash; rotate the mode dial to

 

 

 

j(0 24) or turn the flash off (0 67–69). For information on the number of photographs

 

 

 

that can be taken in a single burst, see page 187.

 

 

 

A Buffer Size

 

 

 

The approximate number of images that can be stored in the

 

 

 

memory buffer at current settings is shown in the viewfinder

 

 

 

exposure-count display while the shutter-release button is pressed. The illustration shows

 

 

 

the display when space remains in the buffer for about 24 pictures.

 

 

 

A Auto Image Rotation

 

 

 

The camera orientation recorded for the first shot applies to all images in the same burst,

 

 

 

even if the camera is rotated during shooting. See “Auto Image Rotation” (0 141).
