Figure 4-38. Max. continuous release
1. Select d Shooting/display from the Custom Setting Menu
and scroll to the right (see Figure 4-38, image 1).
2. Highlight Max. continuous release and scroll to the right
(see Figure 4-38, image 2).
3. Use the Multi Selector to scroll up or down and set the
number of images you want in each burst. In
Figure 4-38, image 3, 100 has been selected.
4. Press the OK button to lock in the setting.
My Recommendation: If you have a need to limit your
camera to a maximum number of images in each shooting
burst, simply change this number from its default of 100
images to whatever you feel works best for you. Personally, I
want the buffer to hold as many images as it possibly can
when I am blasting away in high-speed shooting modes, so I
leave Max. continuous release set to 100.
However, you may want to artificially limit the camera to a
maximum burst of 10 or 20 images, just so the buffer will not
fill up and slow the camera way down. This also lets you
maintain some control over your enthusiastic high-speed
shooting. Do you really want dozens and dozens (and dozens)
of pictures of those flying seagulls?
