    When you hold down the shutter button completely, you can shoot continuously at max. approx. 7.0 shots/sec. (Live View shooting: max. approx. 7.5 shots/sec.) while you keep holding it down. When the AF operation is set to [Servo AF] in Live View shooting, the continuous shooting speed will be max. approx. 4.5 shots/sec.

  • [] Low speed continuous/Continuous shooting

    When you hold down the shutter button completely, you can shoot continuously at max. approx. 3.0 shots/sec. while you keep holding it down.

Caution

  • The maximum continuous shooting speed for High-speed continuous shooting () is the value in continuous shooting under these conditions: shooting with a fully charged Battery Pack LP-E17 at a 1/1000 sec. or faster shutter speed and maximum aperture value (depending on the lens), Image Stabilizer off (depending on the lens), at room temperature (23°C/73°F), with flicker reduction disabled.
  • The continuous shooting speed for High-speed continuous shooting may become slower depending on factors such as temperature, battery level, flicker reduction, shutter speed, aperture value, subject conditions, brightness, AF operation, lens, live view shooting, built-in flash use, and shooting function settings.
  • With [Shooting: Anti-flicker shoot.] set to [Enable] (), shooting under flickering light may decrease the maximum continuous shooting speed. Also, the continuous shooting interval may become irregular and the release time lag may become longer.
  • With AI Servo AF/Servo AF, the maximum continuous shooting speed may become slower depending on the subject conditions and the lens used.
  • If the battery temperature is low due to a low ambient temperature, the maximum continuous shooting speed may become slower.
  • When internal memory becomes full during continuous shooting, the continuous shooting speed may drop off because shooting will be temporarily disabled ().
