Unlimited Continuous Release
Selecting a shutter speed of 4 s or slower in exposure
mode S or M lets you take an unlimited number of photo-
graphs in continuous release mode (C
l
, C
h
, or Q
c
): shooting
can continue as long as the battery lasts and there is space
on the memory card, regardless of the option selected for
Custom Setting d2 (Max. continuous release). Although
the lack of shutter speeds faster than 4 s limits your choice
of subjects, the interval between shots is as short as in
normal photography, producing smoother footage of sub-
jects that require exposure times of 4 s or more, such as
stars or auroras.
