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

• The Memory Buffer
The camera
is equipped with a memory buffer for temporary storage, allowing shooting to
continue while photographs are being saved to the memory card. Up to 100 photographs can
be taken in succession; note, however, that frame rate will drop when the buffer is full.
While photographs are being recorded
to the memory card, the access lamp next to the
memory card slot will light. Depending on the number of the images in the buffer, recording
may take from a few seconds
to a few minutes. 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 buffer, the power will not turn off until all images in the buffer have
been recorded.
Ifthe battery is exhausted while images remain in the buffer, the shutter
release will be disabled and the images transferred
to the memory card.
