Compose the picture as described in the basic recording section
(p. 27). 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. 83). Press and hold the shutter-release button all the
way down (2) to begin taking pictures.

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. 48).
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.The built-in flash can be
used, but the rate of capture is reduced because the flash must recharge between frames.The fol-
lowing chart lists the maximum number of images that can be captured with different image-quality
and image-size combinations.
