 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 memory card access lamp 
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.

Buffer Size
The approximate number of images that can be stored in the 
memory buffer at current settings is shown in the viewfinder

the display when space remains in the buffer for about 19 pictures.
