To choose a shooting mode, press the mode dial lock release and turn the mode dial to the desired setting. Taking Photographs-Choosing a Shooting Mode 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. The 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. To turn the camera off without recording the images in the buffer, press the button while turning the camera off (keep the button pressed for at least one second after turning the camera off). 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. The approximate time required to write the entire buffer to a 1 GB SanDisk SDCFX (Extreme III) card is as follows (ISO sensitivity set to ISO 100 equivalent, long exposure noise reduction off, and Size priority selected for JPEG compression): Quality Uncompressed NEF (RAW)+JPEG Basic (Large) Uncompressed NEF (RAW) TIFF RGB (Large) JPEG Fine (Large) Hi-speed crop: Off 35 s (16 frames) 35 s (17 frames) 530 s (16 frames) 16 s (22 frames) Hi-speed crop: On 40 s (28 frames) 35 s (29 frames) 590 s (28 frames) 20 s (38 frames) 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 top control panel while the shutter-release button is pressed. d2-Maximum Shots ( 197) The maximum number of photographs that can be taken in a single burst can be limited to any amount between 1 and 60. 44
