Continuous Mode
The maximum number of shots that can be taken in a single burst var-
ies with the release mode. At frame rates of 30 and 60 fps, the maxi-
mum number of shots that can be taken in a single burst is 15.
The built-in flash can be used when 5fps is selected, but only one pic-
ture 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.
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 some time. If the battery
is exhausted before all photographs are recorded, the shutter release
will be disabled and the remaining images transferred to the memory
card.
Continuous shooting is not available in creative modes other than P, S,
A, or M, in best moment capture, advanced movie, or Motion Snapshot
mode, or when live image control is used in auto mode (0 27).

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. Note that
the frame rate will drop or shooting will
pause when the buffer is full. The approxi-
mate 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; 0 179). The illustration
shows the display when space remains in the buffer for about 22 pic-
tures.
