Continuous Shooting Speeds

Content Id: 8200878800


For the details about the continuous shooting speeds, see the table below. For the details about how to set the drive mode to continuous shooting, see the instruction manual supplied with your camera.

Caution

Because the continuous shooting speeds are based on the measurement conditions of our company, they vary depending on the subject or the shooting conditions.
It is possible to carry out continuous shooting until the memory card becomes full.
If the internal buffer memory becomes full, it is not possible to carry out continuous shooting temporarily, and the shooting interval will become longer.

*The maximum continuous shooting speed of approx. 14 shots/sec. is attained at the following conditions;

Continuous shooting with mirror lockup
Focus and exposure are fixed with the same conditions as the first image shot.
Shooting in JPEG (not possible if shot in RAW or RAW + JPEG formats).
Shutter speed is 1/1000 sec. or faster.
Flash will not be fired (even when connected with PC terminal).
