additional function. Please refer to this additional instruction manual along with the DP2x User’s

CAPTURE PRIORITY MODE
When the Drive Mode is set to Single, the shutter may not release immediately due to image
processing. However, by setting the Drive Mode to the new “Capture Priority” function, it will
enable the shutter to release continuously until the buffer is full. Therefore, it is possible to shorten
the time between taking photos.

[Drive Mode] → [ Capture Priority].
When the Capture Priority Mode is set, the CP
Timer and number of shots remaining before
the memory buffer is full will be displayed on
the bottom right corner of the LCD monitor. A
CP countdown timer will begin when the first
picture is taken.
