Camera records photographs at
up to about 2.5 frames per second while
shutter-release
button is pressed (note that photographs taken at an ISO sen-
sitivity
of HI1 are automatically processed to reduce noise, increasing record-
ing time by about
1 second per frame). Only one shot will be taken if flash
fires; select
@ Auto (flash off) mode (~ 18) or turn flash off (~ 35) for burst
photography.

~ 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. When the buffer is full, the shutter is dis-
abled until enough data have been transferred
to the memory card to make room for another photo-
graph. In continuous mode, shooting will continue to a maximum of 100 shots, although the frame
rate will
drop once the buffer has filled. See the Appendix for information on the number of photo-
graphs that can be stored in the memory buffer.
The approximate number
of images that can be stored in the memory
buffer at current settings is shown in the exposure-count display in the
viewfinder while the shutter-release button is pressed.
