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.
Note, however, that frame rate will drop when the
buffer is full (
tAA).
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 99 pictures.
While photographs are being recorded to the memory card, the
memory card 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.
