The Mode Dial
The mode dial is used to set the camera operating mode. The D1 can be
operated in single-frame or continuous shooting modes, self-timer mode,
playback mode, and PC mode.
To set the operating mode, hold the mode dial lock
button down and turn the mode dial to the desired
setting.
Note
The following operating modes are available:
S Single-frame shooting: One photograph is taken each time the
shutter-release button is pressed. The next photograph can not be
taken until the current photograph has been recorded to the flash
memory card and the card access lamp has gone out.
C Continuous shooting: Photographs are taken at a maximum rate of
4.5 frames per second while the shutter-release button is held down.
Photographs are stored in a temporary memory buffer, which can
hold a maximum of twenty-one photographs. When this limit is
reached, the camera will be unable to record more photographs until
at least one of the images in the buffer has been transferred to the
memory card.
Camera Settings: The Mode Dial
The frame advance rate quoted above for continuous shooting mode is the average
obtained at a temperature of 20°C (68°F) using continuous servo AF, manual
exposure mode, a shutter speed faster than
1
/
250
sec., and an aperture other than the
maximum aperture.
Should the D1’s battery become exhausted while photographing in continuous
shooting mode, the camera will stop shooting, save images held in the temporary
memory buffer to the memory card and turn off.
The advance rate for continuous shooting can be changed using custom settings
(see “Custom Settings,” item 25). You can also set the size of the memory buffer
to any value between one and twenty-one frames (“Custom Settings,” item 26).
