Selecting The Drive Mode - Canon EOS 1D Mark II N Instruction Manual

Selecting the Drive Mode

When you shoot, the images are first stored in the camera's internal
buffer memory and then transferred to the memory card. When the buffer
memory becomes full, shooting cannot continue until the buffer memory
starts to empty to the memory card. As the images are transferred, you
can continue shooting. Press the shutter button halfway and check the
viewfinder's lower right for the current maximum burst number.
Note that the maximum burst number will be displayed even when there
is no memory card installed. Before shooting, make sure a memory card
has been installed.
If "Card Full" is displayed in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel, wait
until the access lamp turns off or stops blinking, then replace the memory
card.
