Option Description
[Pre-
release
burst]
If an option other than [None] is selected, the camera will buffer
frames while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, but
only the frames added to the buffer in the final n seconds, where n
is the value selected for [Pre-release burst], will be recorded to
the memory card when the shutter-release button is pressed all
the way down (“Pre-Release Capture”).
•
If the interval between the shutter-release button being pressed
halfway and its being pressed all the way down is shorter than
the time selected, only the frames saved to the buffer while the
button was pressed halfway will be recorded.
[Post-
release
burst]
Choose the maximum length of time the camera will continue to
take pictures after the shutter-release button is pressed all the way
down: [1s], [2s], [3s], or [Max.]. Shooting can continue for up to
about 4 s when [Max.] is selected.
