During continuous shooting, the captured images 
are first stored in the camera’s internal memory 
and then successively transferred to the CF card. 
When the internal memory becomes full during 
continuous shooting, “buSY” will be displayed on the LCD panel and in 
the viewfinder and the camera cannot take any more shots. As the 
captured images are transferred to the CF card, you will be able to 
capture more images. Press the shutter button halfway to check in the 
viewfinder’s bottom right the current remaining shots of the maximum 
burst.
¡
If “FuLL CF” is displayed in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel, wait 
until the access lamp stops blinking, then replace the CF card.
¡
When the battery level is low, the maximum burst will be slightly lower.
