AThe 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 can be taken in succession. Depending on the battery level and the number of images in the buffer, recording may take from a few seconds to a few minutes. 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.

AFrame Rate

For information on the number of photographs can be taken in continuous release modes, see page 260. Frame rates may drop when the memory buffer is full or the battery is low.

AThe Built-in Flash

Continuous release modes can not be used with the built-in flash; rotate the mode dial to j (0 19) or turn the flash off (0 62).

ABuffer 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.
