The continuous-advance drive mode can capture images at a rate of approximately 1.8
fps. The maximum number of images that can be captured depends on the image file
size and the available space on the memory card.
When single-shot AF is used, focus and exposure is locked with the first frame. Focus
and exposure is set for each image when the continuous-AF focus mode is used, but the
rate of capture is reduced. When the red low-battery warning appears, or the flash or
noise reduction (p. 39) is used, the rate of capture is also reduced.
The following chart lists the approximate maximum number of images that can be
captured at the maximum frame rate; the rate of capture after this limit depends on file
size and the writing speed of the memory card.

The advantage of Progressive Capture (p. 50) over the continuous-advance drive mode is
that it allows you to record events without the need to predict when the event will start.
Simply hold the shutter-release button down to start saving images, and after the action
happens, release the shutter button to save the recorded series.
