 Setting the Image-recording Quality

54

The maximum burst during continuous shooting depends on the image-recording 
quality and the drive mode (high-speed/low-speed continuous shooting). The 
approx. maximum burst during continuous shooting is indicated below for each 
image-recording quality. Note that with high-speed CF cards, the maximum burst 
may be higher than shown in the table below depending on the shooting conditions.

* Continuous shooting is possible until the CF card becomes full.

 

The number of shots remaining during the 
maximum burst is displayed on the lower 
right of the viewfinder.

 

If “9” is displayed, it indicates that the maximum burst is nine or more 
shots. If “5” is displayed, it is five shots.

 

While you are shooting and the number of shots remaining in the 
maximum burst is fewer than 9, the viewfinder will display “8”, “7”, etc. If 
you stop the continuous shooting, the maximum burst will increase.

Maximum Burst

After all the captured images are processed and written to the CF card, the 
above table’s figures for the maximum burst will apply.

 

With white balance bracketing (p.68), the maximum burst will be lower.

 

The maximum burst is displayed even when the drive mode is set to 
<u> (Single) or <j>. The maximum burst is displayed even when a 
CF card is not in the camera. Therefore, before shooting, make sure that 
a CF card is installed in the camera.
