 Selecting the Drive ModeN

 

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.
