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 2048 X 1536, the maximum rate of capture is 1.5
fps. Continuous advance is selected in section 1 of the recording-mode menu (p. 43).
Compose the picture as described in the basic recording operation section (p. 27). 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. The built-in flash can
be used, but the rate of capture is reduced because the flash must
recharge between frames. Date imprinting (p. 58) also reduces the
rate of capture. The frame counter is adjusted 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.
