exposure, a shutter speed of
and memory remaining in memory buffer. Frame advance rate when
recording NEF (RAW) or NEF (RAW) + JPEG pictures with 14-bit selected for
NEF (RAW) recording > NEF (RAW) bit depth (0 70) is approximately
2.5 fps. Frame rate drops when vibration reduction (available with VR lenses)
is on.
2 If On is selected for ISO sensitivity settings > ISO sensitivity auto control in
the shooting menu (0 98), frame advance rate in continuous high-speed
mode is approximately 7.5 fps.
3 Frame rate slows at low temperatures and when batteries are low.
A
Buffer Size
The approximate number of images that can be
stored in the memory buffer at current settings
is shown in the exposure-count displays in the
viewfinder and control panel while the shutter-
release button is pressed. The illustration at
right shows the display when space remains in
the buffer for about 37 pictures.
