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. A Continuous Release Mode Continuous release mode (I) can not be used with the built-in flash; rotate the mode dial to j (0 27) or turn the flash off (0 58-59). A Buffer Size The approximate number of images that can be stored in the z memory buffer at current settings is shown in the viewfinder exposure-count display while the shutter-release button is pressed. The illustration shows the display when space remains in the buffer for about 21 pictures. A Auto Image Rotation The camera orientation recorded for the first shot applies to all images in the same burst, even if the camera is rotated during shooting. See "Auto Image Rotation" (0 128). A The Shooting Menu Release mode can also be adjusted using the Release mode option in the shooting menu (0 119). A See Also For information on using the Fn (E) button and the command dial to select a release mode, see page 134. For information on the number of photographs that can be taken in a single burst, see page 177. 54
