  • Continuous shooting speed may become slower when using batteries with weak recharge performance ().
  • Continuous shooting speed with Servo AF may be slower depending on subject conditions or the lens used.
  • Continuous shooting speed may be lower when shooting under flickering light with [Shooting: Anti-flicker shoot.] set to [Enable] (). Also, the continuous shooting interval may become irregular and the release time lag may become longer.
  • When internal memory becomes full during continuous shooting, the continuous shooting speed may drop off because shooting will be temporarily disabled ().
