Continuous Mode
Only one picture will be taken if the flash fires when
I
is selected; at
settings of 10, 20, 30, and 60 fps, the built-in flash will not fire.
While photographs are being recorded to the memory card, the mem-
ory card access lamp will light. Depending on shooting conditions and
memory card write speed, recording may take some time. If the battery
is exhausted before all photographs are recorded, the shutter release
will be disabled and the remaining images transferred to the memory
card.
Continuous shooting is not available with live image controls (
94) or
in self-portrait, creative, best moment capture, advanced movie, or
Motion Snapshot mode.

Buffer Size
The camera is equipped with a memory buf-
fer for temporary storage, allowing shooting
to continue while photographs are being
saved to the memory card. The approximate
number of images that can be stored in the
memory buffer at current settings is dis-
played while the shutter-release button is
pressed halfway (this number is an approximation only and varies with
shooting conditions). The illustration shows the display when space
remains in the buffer for about 20 pictures.
A
Single Frame
To take only one picture each time the shutter-release button is
pressed all the way down, select
8
(single frame) for release mode.
Single frame is not available in sports mode.
