The continuous-advance drive mode allows a series of images to be captured while
holding down the shutter-release button. The number of images that can be captured at
one time and the rate of capture depend on the image-quality and image-size setting.
With the image-size setting of 1600 X 1200, the maximum rate of capture is 2 fps. If the
image quality is set to super fine (p. 36) only one frame can be captured at a time.

Continuous advance is selected in the basic section of the recording-mode menu (p. 28).

Compose the picture as described in the basic recording operation section (p. 23). Press the shutter-
release button partway down to lock the exposure and focus for the series. Press
and hold the shutter-release button all the way down (1) to begin taking pictures.
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 button
is released. The built-in flash can be used, but the rate of capture is reduced
because the flash must recharge between frames. The frame
counter is adjusted after the series has been taken while the
images are being saved.
