The continuous-advance drive mode allows a series of images to be cap-
tured while holding down the shutter-release button. The number of images
that can be captured at one time and the rate of capture depend on the
image-quality and image-size setting. With the image-size setting of 1600 X
1200, the maximum rate of capture is 2 fps. If the image quality is set to super fine (p.
36) only one frame can be captured at a time. Continuous advance is selected in the
basic section of the recording-mode menu (p. 28).
Compose the picture as described in the basic recording operation
section (p. 23). Press the shutter-release button partway down to lock
the exposure and focus for the series. Press and hold the shutter-
release button all the way down (1) to begin taking pic-
tures. When the shutter-release button is pressed and
held, the camera will begin recording images until the
maximum number has been taken or the shutter button
is released. The built-in flash can be used, but the rate
of capture is reduced because the flash must recharge
between frames. The frame counter is adjusted after
the series has been taken while the images are being
saved.
