Power Source and Frame Rate
The maximum frame advance rate varies with the power source
and image area. The figures below are the average maximum
frame rates available with continuous-servo AF, manual or
shutter-priority auto exposure, a shutter speed of
settings other than Custom Setting d2 at default values, and
memory remaining in the memory buffer.

1 Maximum frame rate when FX (36 × 24) or 5 : 4 (30 × 24) is selected for image area is
5 fps even if higher values are selected for Custom Setting d2 (CL mode shooting
speed, 0 321).
2 AA-size batteries. Frame rates may drop at low temperatures or when batteries are low.
The stated rates may not be available under some conditions.
Frame rate drops at slow shutter speeds or very small apertures
(high f-numbers) or when vibration reduction (available with VR
lenses) or auto ISO sensitivity control is on (0 111) or the battery
is low. In M mode, frame rate is fixed at about 3 fps.
