A 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 shooting conditions and memory card
performance, 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. If the battery is exhausted while images remain in
the buffer, the shutter release will be disabled and the images transferred to the memory
card.
A Buffer Size
The approximate number of images that can be stored in the
memory buffer at current settings is shown in the exposure-
count displays in the viewfinder and control panel while the
shutter-release button is pressed. The illustration at right
shows the display when space remains in the buffer for about
28 pictures.
