Choosing a Shooting Mode Controls used: button Shooting mode determines how the camera takes photographs: one at a time, in a continuous sequence, with a timed shutter-release delay, or with a remote control. Mode Single frame Continuous Self-timer Description Camera takes one photograph each time shutter-release button is pressed. Access lamp will light while photo is recorded; next shot can be taken immediately if enough space remains in memory buffer. Camera records photographs at up to three frames per second 1 while shutter-release button is pressed. Use for self-portraits or to reduce blurring caused by camera shake ( 37). Delayed remote Optional ML-L3 remote control required. Use for self-portraits ( 38). Quick-response Optional ML-L3 remote control required.

Average frame rate with manual focus, manual or shutter-priority auto exposure, a shutter speed of s or faster, and memory remaining in memory buffer. To choose a shooting mode, press the button until the desired setting is displayed. Buffer Size The number of images that can be stored in the memory buffer at current settings is shown in the exposure-count displays in the viewfinder and control panel while the shutter-release button is pressed. This number is updated as photographs are transferred to the memory card and more memory becomes available in the buffer. If 0 is displayed, the buffer is full and shooting will slow. Shooting can continue up to a maximum of 100 shots. See the Appendix for more information ( 138). While photographs are being recorded to the memory card, the access lamp next to the memory card slot will light. Do not remove the memory card or remove or disconnect the power source until the access lamp has gone out. If the camera is switched off while data remain in the buffer, the power will not turn off until all images in the buffer have been recorded. 36 Reference: More on Photography (All Modes) / Choosing a Shooting Mode
