The Memory Buffer
The camera is equipped with a memor y buffer for temporary storage of photos during
shooting, allowing you to take several pictures in succession without waiting for the images
to be transferred to the memory card. The number of images that can be stored in the
buffer depends on the quality and size of the images. When the buffer becomes full, an
hourglass icon ( ) will be displayed in the monitor until enough data have been transferred
to the card to allow more pictures to be taken. More pictures can be taken as soon as
enough memory becomes available in the buffer. At a setting of Continuous, you can
continue to take pictures as long as the shutter-release button is held down, although the
rate at which pictures are taken will drop when the buffer fills up.
