My Recommendation: I tried using the Enable release
setting as an experiment. I found that there is no real reason to
use this setting other than sending pictures to a computer with
the Camera Control Pro software. Without a memory card
present, I went around the house taking pictures. Using RAW
lossless compression, I was able to take about 40 pictures
before I ran out of internal camera buffer memory. The
Monitor displayed DEMO on each image I took while the
card was out of the camera, and I could scroll around in the
pictures normally. Around picture 41 or 42, the camera
dumped all the images and went back to number one. So,
once it reaches the end of buffer memory, the buffer is
cleared.
Okay, well, maybe I can just shoot some images, turn the
camera off and then insert a memory card to write the buffer
out to the CF card? Nope! As soon as I turned off the camera,
it flushed the buffer, and no images were left. Hmm, maybe I
can just shoot some images and without turning off the
camera, insert a memory card? No, again! Even though I had
several images waiting around in buffer memory, as soon as I
inserted the card, the camera switched to the inserted card and
dumped the buffer again, deleting my lovely buffer images in
the process.
I can find no way to write any of the images in the buffer out
to a memory card. If you are the curious type, I hope this
saves you some time.
