Progressive-capture mode
The Progressive-Capture drive mode continuously records
images while holding down the shutter-release button. When
the shutter button is released, the last six images stored in
the camera’s buffer memory are recorded. This drive mode
is set in section 1 of the recording menu. When the red low-
battery warning is displayed, these drive modes cannot be
used. Fine image quality (p. 51) cannot be used in this
mode.

Compose the picture as described in the basic recording
operation section (p. 22). Press the shutter-release button
partway down (1) to lock the focus exposure for the series.
Press and hold the shutter-release button all the way down
(2) to begin taking pictures; focus is locked with the first
frame. When the shutter-release button is pressed and held,
the camera will begin recording.
Release the shutter (3) to save the images in the camera
memory. The Progressive Capture records the last six
images saved in the camera’s buffer memory. When a series
is captured, a thumbnail of each image is shown in an index
display while being saved.
The maximum rate of capture is approximately 1.0 fps. The use
of the continuous-AF focus mode reduces the rate of capture.
The built-in flash and date imprinting (p. 93) cannot be used.
If the continuous AF focus mode (p. 54) is selected, the focus for
the series is not locked. The AF system focuses between each
frame. The exposure for the series is locked when the shutter-
release button is pressed partway down.

ing increment.
Press the left/right keys of the controller to select the brack-
eting increment. Press the central button of the controller to
set the value. To change the increment, select the bracketing
drive mode again with the menu.
