68A The Memory BufferThe camera is equipped with a memory buffer for temporary storage,allowing shooting to continue while photographs are being saved tothe memory card. The frame rate will drop when the buffer is full (tAA).The approximate number of images that can be stored in the buffer atcurrent settings is shown in the exposure-count displays while theshutter-release button is pressed. The illustrations below show thedisplay when space remains in the buffer for about 42 pictures.While photographs are being recorded to the memory card, thememory card access lamp will light. Depending on shootingconditions and memory card performance, recording may take from afew seconds to a few minutes. Do not remove the memory card orremove or disconnect the power source until the access lamp has goneout. If the camera is switched off while data remain in the buffer, thepower will not turn off until all images in the buffer have beenrecorded. If the battery is exhausted while images remain in the buffer,the shutter release will be disabled and the images transferred to thememory card.A Live ViewIf a continuous release mode is used during live view, photographs willbe displayed in place of the view through the lens while the shutter-release button is pressed.A See AlsoFor information on choosing the maximum number of photographsthat can be taken in a single burst, see Custom Setting d3 (Max.continuous release, 0 280).
