Continuous advance

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 1600 X 1200, the

maximum rate of capture is 1.5 fps. Continuous advance is selected in the

drive mode on the main menu of the recording-mode (p. 34).

Compose the picture as described in the basic recording

operation section (p. 25). 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. ShutterFX is disabled (p.87). The

built-in flash can be used, but the rate of capture is reduced

because the flash must recharge between frames. Date

imprinting (p. 54) 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.
