PROGRESSIVE-CAPTURE MODE
The Progressive-Capture drive mode continuously
records images while holding down the shutter-
release button. When the shutter button is released,
the last six images stored in the camera’s buffer
memory are recorded. This drive mode is set in
section 1 of the recording menu. When the red low-
battery warning is displayed, these drive modes
cannot be used.

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
exposure for the series.
Press and hold the shutter-release button all the way
down (2) to begin taking pictures; focus is locked with
the first frame. When the shutter-release button is
pressed and held, the camera will begin recording.
Release the shutter (3) to save the images in the
camera memory. The Progressive Capture records
the last six images saved in the camera’s buffer
memory. When a series is captured, a thumbnail of
each image is shown in an index display while being
saved.
The maximum rate of capture is approximately 1.3 fps.
The use of the continuous-AF focus mode reduces the
rate of capture. The built-in flash and date imprinting (p.
89) cannot be used.
If the continuous AF focus mode (p. 54) is selected, the
focus for the series is not locked. The AF system focuses
between each frame. The exposure for the series is
locked when the shutter-release button is pressed
partway down.
