When the internal buffer memory becomes 
full during continuous shooting, “buSY” will 
be displayed on the LCD panel and in the 
viewfinder and shooting will be disabled 
temporarily. As the captured images are recorded to the CF card, you will 
be able to shoot more images. Press the shutter button halfway to check 
in the viewfinder’s bottom right for the current maximum burst. This is the 
maximum number of shots that can be taken continuously.

 

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 continuous shooting speed will be slightly slower.
