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
halfway.
The illustration at right shows the
display when space remains in the buffer for
about 37 pictures.

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 (t00).
While photographs are being recorded to the memory card, the access
lamp 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.
