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)

A maximum of 14 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.
- In [ProCap] mode, the lower limit of the shutter speed is 1/10 s.
- In [ProCap], the aperture range is limited between maximum aperture and F8.0.
- [ProCap] cannot be used with Four Thirds system lenses or Micro Four Thirds system lenses from other manufacturers.
Pro Capture H (ProCapH)
Choose this option if the distance to the subject is unlikely to change very much during shooting. The camera shoots at up to 30 fps. A maximum of 14 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 [ProCapH] mode, the lower limit of the shutter speed is 1/30 s when [Max fps] under [Sequential Shooting Settings] is set to [30fps], 1/20 s when it is set to [20fps], and 1/15 s when it is set to [15fps].
