Standard Progressive Capture records the last six images saved in
the camera’s buffer memory. When a series is captured, a thumbnail
of each image shown in a six frame index display while being saved.
The maximum rate of capture is approximately 1.5 fps. The built-in
flash can be used, but the rate of capture is reduced because the
flash must recharge between frames. Date imprinting (p. 92) cannot
be used.
Progressive-Capture notes
PROGRESSIVE CAPTURE
UHS PROGRESSIVE CAPTURE
UHS continuous-advance captures up to ten 1280x960 images at 10fps regardless of the image
quality setting. The built-in flash cannot be used.
During recording, the live image can be seen. When a series is captured, a thumbnail of each frame
in the series is shown in a six frame index display while being saved; the first six image are replaced
by the following images after they are displayed.
Very bright light sources in the scene may cause streaks to appear on the image. Black areas
caused by data loss may also be apparent.
The advantage of Progressive Capture over the continuous-advance drive mode is that it allows you
to record events without the need to predict when the event will start. Simply hold the shutter-release
button down to start saving images, and when the action happens, release the shutter button to save
the recorded series. When the red low-battery warning is displayed, these drive modes cannot be
used.
