Konica Minolta dimage z5 User Manual

The Progressive-Capture drive mode continuously records images
while holding down the shutter-release button. When the shutter but-
ton is released, the images stored in the camera’s buffer memory are
saved. These drive mode is set in section 1 of the recording menus.

The flash and the digital zoom cannot be used. Shutter speeds must be 1/25 second or faster.
A high camera sensitivity (ISO) is used allowing faster shutter speed to be set; sensitivity cannot be
set manually.

Very bright light sources in the scene may cause streaks to appear on the image. Black areas
caused by data loss may also be apparent.

The advantage of Progressive Capture over the continuous-advance drive mode is that it allows you
to record events without the need to predict when the event will start. Simply hold the shutter-
release button down to start saving images, and when the action happens, release the shutter but-
ton to save the recorded series. The flash cannot be used. When the red low-battery warning is dis-
played, these drive modes cannot be used.

Compose the picture as described in the basic recording
operation section (p. 22). Press the shutter-release button
partway down (1) to lock the focus and exposure for the
series. 

Press and hold the shutter-release button all the way
down (2) to begin taking pictures; focus and exposure are
locked with the first frame. When the shutter-release but-
ton is pressed and held, the camera will begin recording.

Release the shutter (3) to save the images in the camera
memory: the last twenty images are saved. The rate of
capture is 10fps regardless of the image-quality setting.
Image size is fixed at 1024x768.

When a series is captured, a thumbnail of each image is shown in an
index display while being saved.

Progressive capture can only be used when there is enough space
available on the memory card to record an entire series of images.
The frame counter must show 21 frames or more to use progressive
capture.
