Pro Capture Camera
Discover the revolutionary Pro Capture Camera system, designed to redefine how photographers capture fleeting moments. With innovative pre-capture technology and high-speed shooting capabilities, this advanced camera system ensures you never miss the perfect shot again, whether you’re photographing wildlife, sports action, or any fast-moving subject.
What is Pro Capture Camera?
Pro Capture Camera represents a groundbreaking advancement in photography technology that fundamentally changes how photographers capture fast-moving subjects and fleeting moments. Unlike standard cameras that only begin recording images after you fully press the shutter button, Pro Capture Camera continuously buffers a series of images when the shutter button is half-pressed, allowing photographers to capture moments that occurred before they even realized they needed to take the picture.
This revolutionary technology serves as a time machine for photographers, enabling them to record what happened moments before they fully pressed the shutter. The system maintains a continuous, rolling buffer of frames while the shutter is half-pressed, then saves these pre-captured frames along with additional frames after the shutter is fully pressed.
When compared to standard camera technologies, Pro Capture Camera offers a significant advantage in situations where timing is critical. Traditional cameras often miss the decisive moment because of human reaction time limitations—by the time you see something happen and press the shutter, the moment has passed. Pro Capture eliminates this limitation by continuously recording and temporarily storing images before you commit to taking the shot.
The Pro Capture system isn’t merely an incremental improvement to existing technology—it represents a paradigm shift in photography, particularly for genres like wildlife, sports, and action photography where split-second timing makes the difference between an ordinary shot and an extraordinary one. By addressing the fundamental challenge of human reaction time, Pro Capture Camera empowers photographers to capture precisely the right moment with unprecedented reliability.
History and Development
2015: Concept Development
Engineers began exploring the possibility of creating a pre-capture system to solve the reaction time problem in photography. Initial prototypes faced significant challenges with memory buffering speeds and battery consumption.

The result is a mature technology that continues to evolve with each new camera generation, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in action photography.
How Does Pro Capture Camera Work?
At the heart of Pro Capture Camera is an ingenious pre-capturing and buffering mechanism that fundamentally changes how photographers interact with fleeting moments. When you half-press the shutter button, the camera begins continuously capturing and storing images in a temporary buffer memory at your selected frame rate. This continuous buffering process runs silently in the background, filling and refreshing a rolling cache of images without committing them to your memory card.
Half-Press Activation
When you half-press the shutter button, the camera activates the Pro Capture mode, beginning the continuous buffering process.
Continuous Buffering
Images are continuously captured and stored in temporary buffer memory, with the oldest frames being replaced by newer ones in a rolling fashion.
Full Shutter Press
Upon fully pressing the shutter button, the camera saves the pre-captured buffer frames that occurred before your press.
Post-Capture Recording
The camera continues capturing additional frames after the shutter press until reaching your specified frame limit.
The technical magic happens in the camera’s buffer memory system. This specialized high-speed memory temporarily holds the pre-captured images until you decide whether to save them by fully pressing the shutter. The buffer operates on a first-in, first-out basis—meaning the oldest images are continuously replaced by new ones if you don’t fully press the shutter. When you do commit to the shot by fully pressing the shutter, the camera saves both the buffered pre-capture frames and continues capturing additional frames afterward.
This sophisticated buffering system relies on advanced processing capabilities to handle the massive data throughput of continuous high-resolution image capture. The camera must process images at speeds of up to 60 frames per second while simultaneously managing focus, exposure, and other camera functions. The result is a seamless experience where photographers can capture moments that would otherwise be impossible to record due to human reaction time limitations.
Pro Capture Camera Advanced Modes
Pro Capture High (H) Mode
Pro Capture High mode is engineered for maximum frame rate capture, allowing photographers to record at blazing speeds of up to 60 frames per second. This mode achieves its remarkable speed by locking focus and exposure settings at the moment you half-press the shutter button. The focus/exposure lock ensures the camera’s processing power is dedicated entirely to capturing and buffering images at the highest possible rate.
Pro Capture H excels in scenarios where your subject remains at a consistent distance from the camera and lighting conditions are stable. Sports photographers capturing a tennis serve, wildlife photographers shooting a bird taking flight from a perch, or action photographers freezing the precise moment of impact all benefit from the extraordinary frame rates of Pro Capture H mode.
Pro Capture Low (L) Mode
Pro Capture Low mode prioritizes continuous autofocus capabilities while still offering impressive frame rates of up to 18 frames per second. Unlike Pro Capture H, this mode continuously adjusts focus between frames, making it ideal for subjects that change distance from the camera during the capture sequence. The trade-off for this focusing capability is a somewhat reduced maximum frame rate.
Pro Capture L is the preferred choice when tracking subjects moving toward or away from the camera. Wildlife photographers following running animals, sports photographers capturing athletes moving across the field, or event photographers documenting unpredictable action will find this mode invaluable for maintaining sharp focus throughout a sequence of images.
| Feature | Pro Capture High (H) | Pro Capture Low (L) |
| Maximum Frame Rate | Up to 60 fps | Up to 18 fps |
| Focus Capability | Fixed at half-press | Continuous between frames |
| Exposure Settings | Locked at half-press | Can adjust between frames |
| Best For | Subjects at fixed distance | Moving subjects changing distance |
| Buffer Capacity | 35-50 frames (varies by model) | 25-40 frames (varies by model) |
| Battery Impact | Higher consumption | Moderate consumption |
Choosing between Pro Capture H and L modes depends entirely on your subject and shooting conditions. For perfectly freezing split-second moments where focus distance remains constant, Pro Capture H delivers unmatched performance. When tracking unpredictable motion with changing distances, Pro Capture L provides the optimal balance of speed and focusing capability.

The most frequently cited drawbacks remain battery consumption and the increased post-processing workload, though most users consider these acceptable trade-offs given the unique capabilities Pro Capture provides.
Any Side Effects or Limitations
Focus Precision Challenges
When using Pro Capture High mode at 60 fps, focus is locked at the half-press position. For subjects moving toward or away from the camera, this can result in focus inconsistencies across the frame sequence. In testing, approximately 25-30% of frames may exhibit suboptimal focus when photographing erratically moving subjects, requiring photographers to either accept this limitation or switch to the slower Pro Capture Low mode with continuous autofocus.
Image Management Workload
The sheer volume of images generated during Pro Capture sessions creates a significant management burden. A single 3-second burst at 60 fps produces 180 images, many visually similar, requiring meticulous culling and organization. Photographers report spending 2-3 times longer on image selection and management compared to traditional shooting methods, necessitating robust digital asset management strategies and specialized culling software.
Camera Wear Considerations
While Pro Capture uses an electronic shutter to eliminate mechanical wear on shutter mechanisms, other components experience increased stress during high-volume shooting. Specifically, the sensor, processing engine, and buffer memory undergo significantly higher duty cycles than in traditional photography. Long-term testing suggests potential for accelerated wear on these components, potentially reducing the camera’s overall operational lifespan with heavy Pro Capture usage.
Additional Equipment Weight
The practical necessities of Pro Capture photography—multiple spare batteries, extra memory cards, and additional storage devices—add considerable weight and complexity to a photographer’s kit. Field photographers report carrying 1.5-2 pounds of additional accessories specifically to support Pro Capture functionality, impacting mobility and increasing fatigue during extended shooting sessions.
Beyond these primary limitations, several additional considerations merit attention from prospective users. The learning curve associated with Pro Capture technology can be substantial, particularly for photographers accustomed to traditional DSLR systems. Developing intuition for when to half-press to begin buffering and when to fully commit to a shot requires practice. Many photographers report a 2-3 week adjustment period before feeling confident with the system.
Card corruption risks increase slightly with the intensive read/write cycles of Pro Capture usage. The system writes massive amounts of data to memory cards in short bursts, placing considerable stress on the card’s controller. While modern UHS-II V90 cards are designed to handle this load, the probability of card corruption or failure increases compared to standard shooting methods. This makes rigorous backup protocols even more essential when using Pro Capture extensively.
Workflow integration presents another challenge. Most standard photo culling and management software isn’t optimized for the high-volume burst sequences that Pro Capture generates. The current generation of software often struggles with efficiently presenting sequence images for comparison and selection. Some photographers report creating custom software solutions or adaptation strategies to manage their Pro Capture workflows more efficiently.
For many advanced users, these limitations represent acceptable trade-offs given Pro Capture’s unique capabilities. However, prospective buyers should carefully consider these factors against their specific needs. The technology delivers extraordinary results in appropriate scenarios, but comes with workflow, equipment, and operational considerations that may impact its suitability for certain photographers or applications.
Troubleshooting and Support
Buffer Limitations and Slowdowns
Issue: Camera slows significantly or stops buffering during extended Pro Capture sessions.
Quick Fix: This typically indicates a memory card speed limitation. Ensure you’re using UHS-II V90-rated cards with at least 280MB/s write speeds. Lower-rated cards cannot sustain the data throughput required for Pro Capture at maximum frame rates. If using appropriate cards, try formatting the card in-camera to optimize its file structure. Also consider reducing your frame rate or switching from RAW+JPEG to RAW-only to reduce data volume.
Inconsistent Focus Results
Issue: Frames within a Pro Capture sequence show inconsistent focus accuracy, particularly with moving subjects.
Quick Fix: First determine which Pro Capture mode you’re using. In Pro Capture High, focus is locked at half-press, so any subject movement will affect focus accuracy. Switch to Pro Capture Low for continuous autofocus capability at the cost of maximum frame rate. Also check that you’re using appropriate focus settings—for moving subjects, ensure continuous AF (C-AF) is active and consider enabling focus tracking. For statistically better results, use smaller apertures (f/5.6-f/8) to increase depth of field and focus tolerance.
Excessive Battery Drain
Issue: Battery depletes extremely quickly during Pro Capture sessions.
Quick Fix: High battery consumption is normal during Pro Capture operation, but can be managed. Reduce the LCD brightness when shooting, as the display consumes significant power. In cold conditions, keep spare batteries in an inside pocket to maintain their temperature. Consider investing in the optional battery grip for extended shooting sessions. Most critically, deactivate Pro Capture mode when not actively shooting to prevent unnecessary buffering that rapidly depletes batteries.
