ADVANCED OPERATION
The continuous-advance drive mode allows a series of images to be captured
while holding down the shutter-release button. The number of images that can
be captured at one time and the rate of capture depend on the image-quality
and image-size setting. With the image-size setting of 1600 X 1200, the
maximum rate of capture is 1.5 fps. Continuous advance is selected in the
drive mode on the main menu of the recording-mode (p. 34).
Compose the picture as described in the basic recording
operation section (p. 25). Press the shutter-release button
partway down to lock the exposure and focus for the series
(1). 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. ShutterFX is disabled (p.87). The
built-in flash can be used, but the rate of capture is reduced
because the flash must recharge between frames. Date
imprinting (p. 54) also reduces the rate of capture. The
frame counter is adjusted after the series has been taken
while the images are being saved.
The chart lists the maximum number of images that can be
captured with different image-quality and image-size
combinations.
