40 RECORDING - ADVANCED OPERATION
The continuous-advance drive mode allows a series of images to be captured while
holding down the shutter-release button.The number of images that can be captured at
one time and the rate of capture depend on the image-quality and image-size setting.
With the image-size setting of 1600 X 1200, the maximum rate of capture is 1.5 fps.
Continuous advance is selected in the drive mode on the main menu of the recording-
mode (p. 34).
Compose the picture as described in the basic recording operation
section (p. 25). Press the shutter-release button partway down to
lock the exposure and focus for the series (1). Press and hold the
shutter-release button all the way down (2) to begin taking pictures.
When the shutter-release button is pressed and held, the camera
will begin recording images until the maximum number has been
taken or the shutter button is released. ShutterFX is disabled (p.87).
The built-in flash can be used, but the rate of capture is reduced
because the flash must recharge between frames. Date imprinting
(p. 54) also reduces the rate of capture.The frame counter is adjust-
ed after the series has been taken while the images are being
saved.
The chart lists the maximum number of images that can be captured
with different image-quality and image-size combinations.
