Custom Setting d1: CL-Mode Shooting Speed

This option determines the rate at which photographs can be taken in CL (continuous low-speed) mode (during interval timer photography, this set- ting also determines the frame advance rate for single-frame and mirror-up modes). Shooting speed can be set to values between 1 and 7 frames per second (fps); the default value is 3 fps. Regardless of the setting chosen, the maximum speed when Hi-speed Crop is Off is 4 fps ( 41). The frame advance rate may drop at slow shutter speeds.

Highlight d1 Shooting speed in the second level of the CSM menu ( 181) and press the multi selector to the right. Press the multi selector up or down to highlight an option, then press to the right to make a selection.

Custom Setting d2: Max No. of Shots Taken in Continuous Shooting

The maximum number of shots that can be taken in a single burst in continuous mode can be set to any value between 1 and 60. Highlight d2 Maxi- mum shots in the second level of the CSM menu ( 181) and press the multi selector to the right. Press the multi selector up or down to choose the

number of shots, then press to the right to make a selection.
