Might be old news, but whatever. Uh, no. The only way to get 8 FPS all the time, even with the appropriate custom function settings, is to have the Continuous Shooting-High drive mode selected. You can't get 8 FPS in any of the other drive modes.

Might be old news, but whatever. actually, it's options 1 and 2 smart guy. timbop wrote in post #10471311 yeah, but you get misfocused shots 8 times a second... back in the film days we had to run MF to get FPS anyway. So while having servo running while focusing is great, it CAN lead to one lost shot in the middle which kills a sequence anyway. The way I shoot FPS I shoot either one shot of MF and guarantee myself all shots in focus using DOF. Poe wrote in post #10471571 Uh, no. The only way to get 8 FPS all the time, even with the appropriate custom function settings, is to have the Continuous Shooting-High drive mode selected. You can't get 8 FPS in any of the other drive modes. there's an issue with the 7D where it doesn't give you 8fps even in H mode though. The OP is suggesting it's because the camera is slowing the FPS to only take in focus shots -vs- ripping along at full FPS but maybe turning in an OOF shot. While that's ONE reason, even with the focus set to manual a 7D will drop below 8fps at times, so it's not JUST AF issues. The other reason is the meter apparently. Turn it to M and MF and you get 8fps 100% of the time (with it set to H obviously). My Gear List
