40D Burst Rate Not Hitting 6.5 FPS

So Jake (CDS) -- how about a new title for LightRules?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!​!!!!!!!!!

[Actually, I'd be fine with it...for a season.]

Now if you read page 81 fully, you will find that if you hold down the AF button as you select the mode, you can get the H and L modes concurrently, so you can get a 15 frame burst at an additive 9.5 fps (6.5+3), very limited but cool.

I wasn't sure if you were joking or not, i actually looked up the manual

And BTW, good to see my spreading of heatware has rubbed off on you

With a forum like ours, who NEEDS the stinkin' manual, eh?:p

EVERYONE REPEAT AFTER ME: LIGHTRULES IS AN IDIOT!

Thanks JC4, you've solved my problem. Ridiculous, and flat out embarrassing. I just hope PetKal doesn't see this thread.

6.5 FPS is a lovely sound...

[FWIW, my 20D doesn't have this different mode so I never even thought about it.]

Glad you conquered it but how bout doing us an actual timed calculation Jojo ...

LOL poor lightrules. I did this myself with adjusting iso when I bought the 40D, lucky for me I'm pretty much an unknown on these forums lol...

Reminder to self- double, then triple check the manual before posting a question.

LOL oh come , you talk like you have never been lazy and just posted a question

Please folks, let this thread just die a nice, quiet, death...the shame is killin' me!

Let it go!

The Fairy sure is taking his (or her) time.

I second the call for a real count on the fps.

LightRules clearly does.

oh gosh, I haven't laughed this much in ages!

This thread shouldn't die. Its, umm, a great lesson to others.

Not sure what the lesson was, but there must be one there

Mark, as stated in my first post, it's disabled. Thanks anyways.

Then I'm obviously the idiot around here.

I say this thread should become a STICKY.

Ha! Too funny...

The store should sell T-SHIRTS...."If Lightrules Doesn't Read the Manual, WHY SHOULD I"? They'd sell like hotcakes.

I bet the new threads triple for people asking questions like:
"my viewfinder is dark. why? And what does the lens cap have to do with anything"
Or "I push the button but nothing works. Do I actually NEED to charge the battery?"
Or (my personal query) "Is Lightrules Really Petkals secret love child?"
