Configuring your Camera
Continuous Shooting When you keep the Shutter button fully depressed in Continuous Shooting
mode, the camera continuously captures images at the rate of 1.7
images/sec. (as long as there is room in camera memory).
• Rotate the D-Dial to .
Continuous Shooting Drive mode Notes:
• When AF mode is set to AF (Single AF mode) mode and the focus
indicator in the viewfinder is on, focus distance and exposure values are
fixed at the setting for the first image. If the subject moves or the scene
brightness changes, the lens focus and camera’s exposure may not be
correct for subsequent images. When AF mode is set to AF mode
(Continuous AF mode), the camera continuously focuses on the subject.
However, you can release the Shutter button even if the Auto Focus
function has not completed. Therefore, images may be out of focus.
• When you use Continuous Shooting mode with external flash on the Hot
shoe, the camera’s frame rate may slow down. This is because the
camera will not capture images while the flash is re-charging.
• Images captured in rapid succession are initially stored in the camera's
internal memory buffer. This lets you continue shooting without having
to wait for images to be written to the CF card. The internal memory
buffer can store about 20 images (at Raw 13.5 MP resolution). Once the
memory buffer is full, the shutter will be disabled until some images
have been transferred to the CF card.
