This mode continuously records images when the shutter-release but-
ton is pressed and held. With standard 3264 x 2448 images, the max-
imum number of pictures taken is three and the approximate rate of
capture is 0.5 fps.. The continuous advance drive mode is selected in
section 1 of the recording menu.
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. Press and hold the shutter-
release button all the way down to begin taking pictures. When the shutter-release button is
pressed and held, the camera begins recording images until the maximum number has been taken
or the shutter button is released.The maximum number depends on the image size and quality; for
example, the number increases up to 20 with economy 1600 x 1200 images. Digital zoom (p. 55)
reduces the number of images. The frame counter is adjusted after the series has been taken.
The built-in flash can be used, but the rate of capture is reduced because the flash must recharge
between frames. Date imprinting (p. 56) also reduces the rate of capture. If noise reduction process-
ing is applied, the rate of capture is reduced, see p. 42.

DRIVE MODES
The drive modes control the rate and method images are captured. Indicators indicating the select-
ed drive mode appear on the monitor. Drive modes can be selected in section 1 of the recording
menu. See navigating the recording menu section on page 38.
Single-frame advance - to take a single image each time the shutter-release button is
pressed. This is the camera’s default setting.
Self-timer - to delay the release of the shutter (p. 40). Used for self-portraits.
Advanced modes - to use advanced drive modes: UHS continuous advance, Progressive
Capture, UHS Progressive Capture, and Multi Frame.
Continuous advance - to take up to three images when the shutter-release button is
pressed and held (p. 41).

With the camera on a tripod, 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 (1). Press the shutter-release button all the
way down to begin the countdown (2). Because focus and
exposure are determined when the shutter-release button is
pressed, do not stand in front of the camera when taking a
self-timer image. Always confirm the focus with the focus sig-
nals before beginning the countdown (p. 27).
During the countdown, the self-timer lamp on the front of the camera
starts to blink and is accompanied by an audio signal. A countdown timer
is displayed on the monitor. A few seconds before the exposure, the self-
timer lamp blinks rapidly. The lamp glows steadily just before the shutter
fires.
To stop the countdown, press the zoom lever or menu button. The drive
mode resets to single-frame advance after the exposure. The audio signal
can be turned off in section 2 of the setup menu (p. 77).
