Selecting The Drive Mode - Canon EOS-5D Instruction Manual

iSelecting the Drive ModeN
Single and continuous drive modes are provided. In the <1> (Full
Auto) mode, single shooting is set automatically.
During continuous shooting, the captured images
are first stored in the camera's internal memory and
then successively transferred to the CF card. When
the internal memory becomes full during continuous
shooting, "buSY" will be displayed on the LCD panel and in the
viewfinder and the camera cannot take any more shots. As the captured
images are transferred to the CF card, you will be able to capture more
images. Press the shutter button halfway to check in the viewfinder's
bottom right the current remaining shots of the maximum burst.
If "FuLL CF" is displayed in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel, wait
until the access lamp stops blinking, then replace the CF card.
When the battery level is low, the maximum burst will be slightly lower.
