release
Press shutter-release button all the way down to take
new photograph while saving photo displayed in mon-
itor to memory card. Any additional shots you take
while earlier pictures are being saved will be stored in
temporary memory buffer before being saved to mem-
ory card. Pictures can be taken until buffer is full (buffer
can hold about ten full-sized, normal-quality images).
When buffer is full, an hourglass icon ( ) will be dis-
played and shutter release will be disabled. Addition-
al pictures can be taken as soon as enough memory is
available in buffer and icon is no longer displayed.
