Using Progressive Capture - Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z6 Instruction Manual

Using progressive capture

The Progressive-Capture drive mode continuously records images while
holding down the shutter-release button. When the shutter button is
released, the images stored in the camera's buffer memory are saved.
This drive mode is set in section 1 of the recording menus. The flash
cannot be used.

2
taking pictures; focus and exposure are locked with the first frame.

Release the shutter (3) to save the images in the camera memory: the
last ten images are saved. The rate of capture is 1.8fps regardless of
the image size or quality setting.
When a series is captured, a thumbnail of each image is shown in an
index display while being saved.
Progressive capture can only be used when there is enough space
available on the memory card to record an entire series of images. The
memory card must have enough space to save at least ten frames to
use progressive capture.
Shutter speeds must be 1/30 second or faster. When the red low-battery warning is displayed, this
drive mode cannot be used.

About DiMAGE Master
The full version of DiMAGE Master gives you all
the tools to organize, examine, and process your
images. The Organizer window allows you to sort
images quickly into four user-defined classifica-
tions. Outtakes can easily be hidden from view
without the need to delete or remove them from
the folder.
Is it difficult to decide which image is the best?
The Examiner window allows you to compare up
to four images for differences between color,
exposure, white balance, and focus by sampling
areas in each image.
The Photofinisher window has many features to
process large numbers of images quickly. Jobs
can be created for specific adjustments and
applied to other images as well as used for batch
processing. Processing can be simply cut and
pasted from one picture to another.
A luminance limit can be specified on the his-
togram and displayed on an image to show the
pixels which are approaching the black and white
levels. The focus checker enlarges the image so
sharpness can be determined. These tools are
available in the Organizer, Examiner, and
Photofinisher.
