UHS continuous-advance mode allows
a series of 1280 X 960 images to be
captured at a rate of approximately 5
frames per second: image size is
changed to 640 X 480 when the digital
zoom is used. The number of images
that can be captured at one time
depends on the image-quality setting
and the use of the digital zoom; see
the attached table. This mode cannot be used with super-fine or RAW image quality, flash illumina-
tion, or Digital Subject Programs. If image quality is set to RAW or super fine before selecting the
drive mode, image quality is reset to standard. Shutter speeds slower than 1/8th of a second cannot
be used. If the low battery power indicator appears, the shutter cannot be released.

The UHS continuous-advance mode is set with the same procedure as the
other drive mode with the function dial, function button, and control dial. Refer
to page 40 of the DiMAGE 7 manual.

When the shutter-release button is pressed and held, the camera will begin
recording images until the maximum number has been taken or the shutter but-
ton is released.

Compose the picture and press the shutter-release button partway down (1) to
lock the exposure and focus for the series. Press and hold the shutter-release
button all the way down (2) to begin taking pictures. Very bright light sources in
the image may cause streaking. A recorded image may show black areas
caused by a loss of data. After the series is captured, the monitor will remain
blank while the images are saved.

UHS CONTINUOUS ADVANCE

UHS CONTINUOUS ADVANCE MOVIES

By turning on the UHS movie function in the custom 1 section of the recording-
mode menu (page 80 of the DiMAGE 7 manual), a separate VGA (640 X 480)
movie file will be created automatically from the captured still images. When the
function is active, the movie camera icon is displayed next to the UHS continu-
ous-advance indicator on the monitors. The time required to make the movie file
is approximately equal to the recording time, the monitor will be blank and the
access lamp will glow during that period.

The movie file is played back at five frames per second.
