Nikon D200KIT Benutzerhandbuch

The number of im ag es that can be stored in the memory 
buff er at current set tings is shown in the ex po sure-count 
dis plays in the viewfi nder and con trol pan el while the 
shutter-release button is pressed (at image qualities of 
JPEG Fine,  JPEG Normal, and JPEG Basic, the display 
will show 25 when the buff er contains space for 25 or 
more images).  This number is updated as photographs are transferred to the memory 
card and more memory becomes available in the buff er.  If 0 is displayed, the memory 
buff er is full and shooting will slow.

In continuous mode, the orientation recorded for the fi rst shot applies to all photographs in 
the same burst, even if camera orientation is changed during shooting.

The camera is equipped with a memory buff er for tem po rary storage, allowing shooting 
to continue while photographs are being saved to the memory card.  When the buff  er is 
full, the shut ter is disabled until enough data have been trans ferred to the mem o ry card 
to make room for another photograph.  In con tin u ous mode, shooting will con tin ue to a 
maximum of 100 shots as long as the shutter-release button is held down, al though the 
frame rate will drop once the buff er has fi lled.

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 images in the buff er, record-
ing may take from a few seconds to a few minutes.  Do not  re move  the  mem o ry  card  or 
re move or dis con nect the power source until the access lamp has gone out.  If the camera 
is switched off  while data remain in the buff er, the power will not turn off  until all images 
in the buff er have been recorded.  To turn the camera off  without recording the images in 
the buff er, 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 buff er, the shutter release will be disabled and the images transferred to the 
memory card.

The approximate time required to write the entire buff er to a 1 GB SanDisk SDCFX (Extreme 
III) card is as follows (ISO sensitivity set to ISO 100 equivalent):

  50 s (19 frames)

  50 s (22 frames)

  35 s (37 frames)

The buff er size shown in the control panel and viewfi nder is an approximation only.  The 
fi le size of compressed images varies with the scene recorded, producing variations in the 
number of images that can be stored.  See the Appendix (

 196) for more information.
