DVANCED RECORDING
USING PROGRESSIVE CAPTURE
The Progressive-Capture drive mode continuously records
images while holding down the shutter-release button. When
the shutter button is released, the images stored in the
camera’s buffer memory are saved. This drive mode is set in
section 1 of the recording menus. The flash cannot be used.
Compose the picture as described in the basic recording
operation section (p. 22). Press the shutter-release button
partway down (1) to lock the focus and exposure for the series.
Press and hold the shutter-release button all the way down (2)
to begin taking pictures; focus and exposure are locked with the
first frame. When the shutter-release button is pressed and
held, the camera begins recording.
Release the shutter (3) to save the images in the camera
memory: the last ten images are saved. The rate of capture is
1.8fps regardless of the image size or quality setting.

When a series is captured, a thumbnail of each image is shown
in an index display while being saved.
Progressive capture can only be used when there is enough
space available on the memory card to record an entire series
of images. The memory card must have enough space to save
at least ten frames to use progressive capture.
Drive-mode indicator
Shutter speeds must be 1/30 second or faster. When the red low-battery warning is
displayed, this drive mode cannot be used.
