Shooting without a release time lag (Pro Capture shooting)

Capture starts when the shutter button is pressed halfway; the moment the button is pressed the rest of the way down, the camera will start saving the last n captured pictures to the memory card, where n is a number selected before shooting begins. If the button is held all the way down, shooting will continue until the selected number of pictures is recorded. Use this option to capture moments you might otherwise miss due to your subject’s reactions or shutter lag.

Pro Capture (ProCap)

Choose this option if you anticipate that the distance to the subject will change during shooting. The camera shoots at up to 20 fps. A maximum of 99 frames can be captured before the shutter button is pressed all the way down. If [C-AF], [C-AFJ], [C-AF+TR], or [C-AF+TRJ] is selected for [KAF Mode], the camera will focus before each shot.

Pro Capture SH1 (ProCap SH1)

Choose this option if the distance to the subject is unlikely to change very much during shooting. The camera shoots at up to 120 fps. A maximum of 99 frames can be captured before the shutter button is pressed all the way down. The camera will use [S-AF] when [C-AF] or [C-AF+TR] is selected for [KAF Mode] and [S-AFJ] when [C-AFJ] or [C-AF+TRJ] is selected.

• In [ProCap SH1] mode, the lower limit of the shutter speed is 1/15 s.

Pro Capture SH2 (ProCap SH2)

The camera shoots at up to 50 fps. A maximum of 99 frames can be captured before the shutter button is pressed all the way down. If [C-AF], [C-AFJ], [C-AF+TR], or [C-AF+TRJ] is selected for [KAF Mode], the camera will focus before each shot.

• The [ProCap SH2] mode is only available with specific lenses. Visit our website for details.
• Using [C-AF], [C-AFJ], [C-AF+TR] or [C-AF+TRJ] AF mode (“Choosing a focus mode (KAF Mode / nAF Mode)”) and an aperture value larger than F8 in [ProCap SH2] mode, the focus accuracy will decrease. NF will be displayed on the screen.
• In [ProCap SH2] mode, the lower limit of the shutter speed is 1/640 s when [Max fps] under [Sequential Shooting Settings] is set to [50fps] and 1/160 s when it is set to [25fps], [16.7fps], or [12.5fps].

1. Select ProCap, ProCap SH1, or ProCap SH2 and press the OK button.

2. Press the shutter button halfway to start capturing.

   • When the shutter button is pressed halfway, a capture icon (D) will be displayed. If the button is kept pressed halfway for over a minute, capture will end and the D icon will clear from the display. Press the shutter button halfway again to resume shooting.
   • Shooting will continue while the shutter button is pressed all the way down, up to the number of shots selected for [Frame Count Limiter].

   

   • [Max fps], [Pre-shutter Frames], and [Frame Count Limiter] can be adjusted in [Sequential Shooting Settings].
3. Press the shutter button all the way down to start saving pictures to the memory card.

• Pro Capture is not available while the camera is connected to a smartphone (Wi-Fi).
• Flickering occurred by fluorescent lights or the large movement of the subject, etc. may cause distortions in images.
• During capture, the monitor will not go dark and the sound of the shutter will not be heard.
• The slowest shutter speed is limited.
• Depending on subject brightness and the options selected for [ISO] and exposure compensation, the display frame rate may drop below that selected for [Frame Rate].
