lower right of the viewfinder.

Max. Burst

 

¡If “9” is displayed, it indicates that the maximum burst is nine or more shots. If “5” is displayed, it is five shots.

¡While you are shooting and the remaining maximum burst is fewer than 9, the viewfinder will display “8”, “7”, etc. If you stop the continuous shooting, the maximum burst will increase.

¡ The maximum burst may greatly decrease in the following cases:

•In the <2> mode, the built-in flash automatically switches between firing and non-firing as you shoot continuously.

•During continuous shooting, the external flash cannot recycle fast enough.

¡The following operations will also greatly decrease the maximum burst:

•Pressing the shutter button completely repeatedly at short intervals.

•Right after taking a picture, you change the shooting mode and take pictures immediately.

•During continuous shooting, you pop-up or retract the built-in flash or turn the external Speedlite on or off.

¡The above table’s figures for the maximum burst apply when all the captured images have been processed internally and written to the CF card.

¡ With white balance bracketing (p.60), the maximum burst will be 2 shots.

¡The maximum burst is displayed even when the drive mode is set to <u> (Single) or <j>. The maximum burst is displayed even when a CF card is not in the camera. Therefore, before shooting, make sure that a CF card is installed in the camera.
