Will be available in Spring 2001. | Can be switched to a high-speed cropped mode, which allows 8 frames per second up to 26 RAW frames. This mode reduces resolution to 6.8 megapixels, cropped from the center of the sensor. This increases the effective focal length multiplier to 2.0x, and reduces the number of useable AF points to nine. The cropped area is indicated by an outline in the viewfinder. |
