continious shootings

[ianlamb]

Hi,
I have a nikon D3000 for my first DSLR. I have been tyring out the continious shooting but when I use it the buffer memory indicates only a capacity of 4 shots before running out, then it has to write before I can start shooting again. Is there any setting I am missing that could increase this buffer size. I have it set on jpeg with a fine picture quality at the moment. Thanks.

The buffer size is part of the camera hardware (like RAM). You can't add more on the D3000. The higher you go in the Nikon range, the bigger the buffer - my D300 has enough space for 26 fine JPG's.

Try setting the camera to shoot basic JPG's. The files are smaller and this might bring you a little more.
