Release Mode Release 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 Description 8 Single frame 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. h! Continuous speed low Camera records 1-4 frames per second while shutter-release button is held down (pg. 65). * Frame rate can be chosen with Custom Setting d6 (CL mode shooting speed; pg. 182). 9 Continuous high speed Camera records up to 4.5 frames per second while shutter-release button is held down (pg. 65). * $ Self-timer Use for self-portraits or to reduce blurring caused by camera shake (pg. 66). " Delayed remote Optional ML-L3 remote control required. Use for self-portraits (pg. 68). # Quick-response Optional ML-L3 remote control required. Use to reduce blurring caused by remote camera shake (pg. 68). * Average frame rate with an EN-EL3e battery, manual focus, manual or shutter-priority auto exposure, a shutter speed of 1/250 s or faster, other settings (with the exception of Custom Setting d6 in the case of continuous low speed mode) at default values, and memory remaining in memory buffer. To choose the release mode, press the I button and rotate the main command dial until the desired setting is displayed in the control panel. I button Main command dial Control panel A The Memory Buffer The camera is equipped with a memory buffer for temporary storage, allowing shooting to continue while photographs are being saved to the memory card. Up to 100 photographs can be taken in succession; note, however, that frame rate will drop when the buffer is full. While photographs are being recorded to the memory card, the access lamp next to the memory card slot will light. Depending on the number of the images in the buffer, recording may take from a few seconds to a few minutes. 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. If the battery is exhausted while images remain in the buffer, the shutter release will be disabled and the images transferred to the memory card. 64
