Caution

  • The maximum continuous shooting speed for [High-speed continuous shooting] () is the value in continuous shooting under these conditions: shooting at room temperature (23°C/73°F) with a fully charged Battery Pack LP-E12 at a 1/1000 sec. or faster shutter speed and maximum aperture value (depending on the lens), with Image Stabilizer off (depending on the lens).
  • Various factors may lower the continuous shooting speed for [High-speed continuous shooting], such as temperature, battery level, shutter speed, aperture value, subject conditions, brightness, AF operation, type of lens, use of built-in flash, and shooting settings.
  • With Servo AF, the maximum continuous shooting speed may become slower depending on subject conditions or 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 ().
