A
The Memory Buffer
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 frame rate will drop when the buffer is full.
While photographs are being recorded to the memory card, the memory card access lamp
will light (0 2). Depending on the number of the images in the buffer, recording may take
from a few seconds to a few minutes. Do not remove the memory card or remove or disconnect
the power source until the access lamp has gone out (0 2). If the camera is switched off while
data remain in the buffer, the power will not turn off until all images in the buffer have been
recorded. If the battery is exhausted while images remain in the buffer, the shutter release
will be disabled and the images transferred to the memory card.
A
Continuous Release Mode
Continuous release mode (I) can not be used with the built-in flash; rotate the mode dial to
j (0 13) or turn the flash off (0 34–36).
A
Buffer Size
The approximate number of images that can be stored in the
memory buffer at current settings is shown in the viewfinder
exposure-count display while the shutter-release button is pressed. The illustration shows
the display when space remains in the buffer for about 19 pictures.
A
The Information Display
The release mode can also be selected using the Release mode
option in the information display (0 5).
