Continuous-advance mode allows a series of images to be captured while holding down the shutter-
release button. Continuous advance acts like a motor drive on a film camera. The number of images
that can be captured at one time depends on the image-quality and image-size setting.The maxi-
mum rate of capture is 2 fps with full-size images with manual focus in manual-exposure mode.The
continuous-advance mode is set with the function dial (p. 44).
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.This mode cannot be used
with super-fine or RAW image (p. 84). If image quality is set to to RAW or super fine before selecting
the drive mode, image quality is reset to standard.The built-in flash can be used, but the rate of cap-
ture is reduced because the flash must recharge between frames.The following chart lists the maxi-
mum number of images that can be captured with different image-quality and image-size combina-
tions.

CONTINUOUS ADVANCE
Compose the picture as described in the basic operation section (p. 31). Press the
shutter-release button partway down (1) to lock the exposure and focus for the
series; if the autofocus mode is set to continuous AF, the lens will continually focus
during the series (p. 81). Press and hold the shutter-release button all the way down
(2) to begin taking pictures.
