Continuous Mode
The Continuous option in the shooting menu offers a choice of 5, 15,
30, and 60 fps (0 125). Frame rates of 15, 30, and 60 fps use an elec-
tronic shutter; except when On is selected for Silent photography
(0 125), a mechanical shutter is used at a frame rate of 5 fps. The built-
in flash can be used when 5fps is selected, but only one picture will be
taken each time the shutter-release button is pressed; at settings of 15,
30, and 60 fps, the built-in flash will not fire. At 15 fps, the maximum
number of shots that can be taken in a single burst is about 45, while at
30 and 60 fps the maximum is about 40. For more information, see
page 186.
While photographs are being recorded to the memory card, the mem-
ory card access lamp will light. Depending on shooting conditions and
memory card write speed, recording may take up to about a minute. If
the battery is exhausted before all photographs are recorded, the shut-
ter release will be disabled and the remaining images transferred to the
memory card.
Continuous shooting is not available in best moment capture,
advanced movie, or Motion Snapshot mode, when live image control is
used in auto mode (0 28), or when On is selected for HDR in the shoot-
ing menu (0 145).
A
Buffer Size
The camera is equipped with a memory
buffer for temporary storage, allowing
shooting to continue while photographs are
being saved to the memory card. Up to 100
photographs can be taken in succession;
note, however, that the frame rate will drop
or shooting will pause when the buffer is full.
The approximate number of images that can be stored in the memory
buffer at current settings is displayed while the shutter-release button
is pressed halfway (this number is an approximation only and varies
with shooting conditions). The illustration shows the display when
space remains in the buffer for about 35 pictures.
