Decoded batteries for those with either 7d, 5D or 60D at 7 dayshop.com

I'm just ordering some Pocket wizard CR2450 batterieas, and Some more AA Good to Go, I'll add one of those as well to give it a try..

grrrr i was trying to shoot some action shots yesterday and couldnt seem to get 8fps on my 7d. Can some one tell me how i achieve this? i was in TV mode 200ms with multishot and single focus point. i got maximum of 8 shots over a bout 6 seconds...

was you in Continuous, or Continuous H

I would personally be quite wary of those batteries. I have had two of their 1D3 batteries and they both died after their first charge on the genuine charger. Put on the charger, green lights showing full charge needed - come back a few hours later, no light in the charger, unresponsive battery both on charger and in camera. Ok they are cheap, but that's ridiculous. I would forever be worried they would fail when I really needed them too.

( btw charged using two different plug sockets and different port on the charging block)

I wonder if the fact they are decoded means the charger can't yell when they are full and over charges them or something?

you need the second from the left mode, not the middle one

i was in Continuous High. One clue was that most of the images were out of focus too..

had you locked on focus before shooting?
Have you got the "shot when not in focus" option on?
Were you shooting RAW?

If it's not able to lock focus it won't shoot which can slow it down. As an experiment, put your camera in manual and switch your lens to manual focus and see how fast it shoots then.

yeah, that will fill up the buffer quicker than you can say jack robinson

so i need to

in preference shoot in manual?
jpg only
continous high
pre focus

anything else that might help...

the subject was moving towards me at a fast rate aswell.

RAW only is fine (just not as many shots a jpg only)

what focus mode was you on?

You don't have to shoot in manual, I was just trying to troubleshoot. The less stuff the camera has to figure out for itself, the faster it can shoot. They say setting the white balance helps too, but it's not really noticeable to be honest.

Raw is fine, and if something is moving you'll probably want to shoot in AIServo mode.

flare!
