ous sequence, with a timed shutter-release delay, or with a remote control.

diately if enough space remains in memory buff er.

1.  Average frame rate with manual focus, manual or shutter-priority auto exposure, a shutter speed of 

/ s or faster, and memory remaining in memory buff er.

To choose a shooting mode, press the   button until the desired setting is displayed.  

The number of images that can be stored in the memory buff er at cur-
rent settings is shown in the exposure-count displays in the viewfi nder and 
control panel while the shutter-release button is pressed.  This number is 
updated as photographs are transferred to the memory card and more 
memory becomes available in the buff er.  If 0 is displayed, the buff er is full 
and shooting will slow.  Shooting can continue up to a maximum of 100 
shots.  See the Appendix for more information (

 138).

While photographs are being recorded to the memory card, the access lamp next to the memory card 
slot will light.  Do not remove the memory card or remove or disconnect the power source until the access 
lamp has gone out.  If the camera is switched off  while data remain in the buff er, the power will not turn 
off  until all images in the buff er have been recorded.
