¡ During continuous shooting, the captured
images are first stored in the camera’s
buffer memory and then successively
transferred to the CF card. When the
buffer memory becomes full during continuous shooting, “buSY” will be
displayed on the LCD panel and in the viewfinder and the camera cannot
take any more shots. As the captured images are transferred to the CF
card, you will be able to capture more images. Press the shutter button
halfway to check in the viewfinder’s bottom right the current remaining
shots of the maximum burst.
¡ If “FuLL CF” is displayed in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel, wait
until the access lamp stops blinking, then replace the CF card.
