shooting to the second shooting is shortened by saving the taken
images in the built-in D-RAM. Usually, the image data i n the D-RAM
is processed by

γ correction and in the AWB correction circuit, then

stored in the built-in or external memory. However, in this mode,
these process are not performed but uses the available area of D­RM(2M out of 4M) and save the processing time.
