Nikon V1 manual Continuous, 121, Memory Buffer, ABuffer Size

Continuous

Choose whether the camera takes one photograph each time the shutter-release button is pressed (Single frame) or records photos at up to 5 frames per second (fps) while the shutter- release button is held down (Continuous).

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; note, however, that frame rate will drop when the buffer is full.

While photographs are being recorded to the memory card, the access lamp will light (0 26). 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.

ABuffer Size

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. The illus- tration shows the display when space remains in the buffer for about 35 pictures.
