¢ol'_tinuousoadvance _otes
Continuous-advance mode allows a series of images to be captured while holding down the
shutter-release button. The maximum frame rate is 3fps until the camera buffer memory is full. The
frame rate after that depends on the writing speed of the memory card. Five RAW or three RAW +
JPEG will fill the camera buffer memory. The number of JPEG images depend on the subject; some
subjects can be compressed further than others.
AF Zoom xi and Power Zoom lenses cannot be zoomed when taking pictures with continuous
advance. The frame rate is affected by the flash as it must recharge between exposures. Focus and
exposure are set between each frame with continuous AF and Auto AR
Se#otimer [_otes
With the camera on a tripod, compose the picture as described in the basic recording section (p.
28). Press the shutter-release button partway down to lock the exposure and focus. Press the
shutter-release button all the way down to begin the countdown.
Because focus and exposure are determined when the shutter-release button is pressed, do not
stand in front of the camera when taking a self-timer image. Always confirm the focus with the
focus signals before beginning the countdown. Attach the eyepiece cap if a bright light source is
behind the camera, see page 111.
With the ten-second self-timer, the self-timer lamp on the front of the camera and the audio signals
indicate the countdown.The lamp glows steadily just before the shutter fires.
To stop the countdown, change the position of the exposure-mode dial or
flash (lift it or push it down), or turn the camera off. The audio signal can be
turned off in section 1 of the setup menu (p. 98). The mirror raises just before
the exposure.
With the two-second self-timer, no indication is given during the countdown.
The mirror raises when the countdown starts.
