Using the Continuous-advance modes

The continuous-advance drive modes allow a series of
images to be captured while holding down the shutter-
release button. These drive modes are set in section 1 of the
recording menus.
Immediately after selecting the continuous option on the
menu, a selection screen is displayed to select between
standard and UHS continuous advance. Use the left/right
keys of the controller to select the continuous advance
mode. Press the central button of the controller to set the
drive mode. Pressing the menu button cancels the operation
without changing the drive mode.
Compose the picture as described in the basic recording
operation section (p. 22). Press the shutter-release button
partway down (1) to lock the focus and exposure for the
series.
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.
The maximum number of frames and the rate of capture
depends on the continuous-advance drive mode selected.

Continuous-advance notes

CONTINUOUS ADVANCE
The continuous-advance drive mode can capture images at a rate of approximately 2.2 fps. When
single-shot AF is used, focus and exposure is locked with the first frame.
Focus and exposure is set for each image when the continuous-AF focus mode is used, but the rate
of capture is reduced. When the red low-battery warning appears, or the flash or noise reduction (p.
39) is used, the rate of capture is also reduced.
The following chart lists the approximate maximum number of images that can be captured:
Size
2560x1920 2048x1536
Quality
Fine 3
Standard 6
Economy 8

UHS CONTINUOUS ADVANCE

UHS continuous-advance captures up to twenty 1024x768 images at approximately 10fps regard-
less of the image quality setting. Focus and exposure is locked with the first frame. The flash and
the digital zoom cannot be used. When the red low-battery warning is displayed or when the frame
counter shows three or fewer frames remaining, this drive mode cannot be used.
Shutter speeds must be 1/25 second or faster. A high camera sensitivity (ISO) is used allowing
faster shutter speed to be set; sensitivity cannot be set manually. Very bright light sources in the
scene may cause streaks to appear on the image. Black areas caused by data loss may also be
apparent.
