A The Memory Buffer
The camera is equipped with a memory buffer for temporary storage,
allowing shooting to continue while photographs are being saved to the
memory card.
Up to 100 photographs can be taken in succession; note,
however, that frame rate will drop when the buffer is full.
In rare cases,
frame rate may also drop when a microdrive memory card is used.
While photographs are being recorded to the memory card, the access
lamp next to the memory card slot will light. Depending on the number
of the images in the buffer, recording may take from a few seconds to a
few minutes. Do not remove the memory card or remove or disconnect the
power source until the access lamp has gone out.
If the camera is switched
off while data remain in the buffer, the power will not turn off until all
images in the buffer have been recorded.
If the battery is exhausted while
images remain in the buffer, the shutter release will be disabled and the
images transferred to the memory card.

can be taken in a single burst, see Custom Setting d5 ([Max.
