Does shooting RAW and/or increasing ISO way up (i.e. above 4000) reduce the response time of the 60D. Several times during a recent shoot I got a message from the camera that it was "waiting to process" or something to that effect. I only noticed it after the clouds rolled in and I bumped the ISO way up. I was shooting as many frames per second as possible. This was the first time I shot RAW as well, but didn't have a problem with the bright light in the morning. Thanks.

Filled the buffer.

Sounds like High-ISO NR is set to MAXIMUM. Turn it down a notch.

Did you shoot RAW only, or RAW + JPEG?

What is your 'High ISO NR' setting?

The buffer will only hold so much. When you fill it, then it takes a bit to write it to the card. You can't just hold down the shutter release forever in burst mode. I think that you can improve it by changing to MRAW or SRAW (just an assumption as I've never done it), but it still isn't infinite.

Sorry I didn't notice that you were shooting continuous mode. Yes the buffer fills after 15 or so photos. In JPEG it takes over fifty before the buffer fills up. That's why you probably didn't notice.

If you choose a smaller jpeg format, you can probably shoot hundreds...

To check the High ISO NR setting see page 254 which I've attached.

You should also review pages 85, 86,87 of the manual.

If you are doing both RAW + the largest JPEG reduce or turn off the JPEG in situations demanding rapid data writes to the card. A full size JPEG is about 6 MB and can always be created from the RAW in post processing.

The higher the ISO, the larger the file size. You may have a slower card, in combination with filling the buffer, and using a high ISO, would likely result in a slower response time.

Thanks for all the responses. I was shooting in both RAW and JPG with normal NR. I've eliminated the JPEG shooting and disabled NR. I don't see why I'd need JPEGs now that I have Lightroom to post process.

It's nice having the JPEG as well imho. I've filled the buffer a couple times with my 60d, bu it's rare. Maybe don't machine gun as much...
