4342 Recording - advanced operation
Advanced modes
Four advanced drive modes are available: UHS continu-
ous advance, Progressive Capture, UHS Progressive
Capture, and Multi Frame.
To select each mode, select the advanced-modes option
in section 1 of the recording menu. Press the center but-
ton of the controller to display four advanced modes.
Use the left/right keys to select the mode. Press the
center button again to complete the opertation.
Flash cannot be used with the advanced drive modes.
Focus and exposure are locked at the first frame of a series. When the red low-battery warning is
displayed, these modes cannot be used. Because of the limits to the shutter speeds, images may
be underexposed in low-light conditions.
Very bright light sources in the scene may cause streaks to appear on the image. Black areas
caused by data loss may also be apparent.
UHS Continuous Advance
UHS continuous-advance mode captures up to 15 images at approximately 10fps while holding
down the shutter-release button. The image size is fixed at 640x480. Digital zoom cannot be used.
Image quality may be slightly lower than normal.
Operation is the same as that of continuous-advanced mode: compose the picture, and press and
hold the shutter-release button all the way down; the camera will begin recording images until the
shutter-button is released.
Progressive Capture
The Progressive-Capture drive mode continuously records images while holding down the shutter-
release button. With standard 3264 x 2448 images, the approximate rate of capture is 0.5 fps. When
the shutter button is released, the last three images stored in the cameraís buffer memory are
saved.
Compose the picture as described in the basic recording operation section (p. 25). Press and hold
the shutter-release button all the way down to begin taking pictures.
When the event has ended, release the shutter to save the images in the camera memory:The num-
ber of images in the memory depends on the image size and quality; three images are saved with
standard 3264 x 2448 images, while 20 images are saved with economy 1600 x 1200 images.
The advantage of Progressive Capture 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 when the action ends, release the shutter button to
save the recorded series.
Progressive Capture can only be used when there is enough space available on the memory card to
record an entire series of images. Digital zoom cannot be used.
UHS Progressive Capture
UHS Progressive Capture drive mode is the same as standard Progressive Capture, except the
maximum number of recorded images is 15, the rate of capture is approximately 10fps, and the
image size is fixed at 640x480. The frame counter must show 15 frames or more to use UHS
Progressive Capture.
Digital zoom cannot be used. Image quality may be slightly lower than normal.

Camera Notes
Noise reduction is applied automatically when the camera temperature is high or slow
shutter speed is required. When processing is applied, the message is displayed after
each exposure and next picture cannot be taken during this period. The rate of capture of
continuous advance reduces.
