Continuous Release Modes
The frame rates for continuous low- and high-speed modes can also be
selected using Custom Setting d1 (Continuous shooting speed,
0 336). The stated rates assume continuous-servo AF, manual or
shutter-priority auto exposure, a shutter speed of
other settings at default values. The stated rates may not be available
with some lenses; in addition, frame rates may drop at extremely small
apertures (high f-numbers) or slow shutter speeds, when vibration
reduction (available with VR lenses) or auto ISO sensitivity control
(0 126) is on, or when the battery is low, a non-CPU lens is attached, or
Aperture ring is selected for Custom Setting f4 (Customize command
dials) > Aperture setting (0 358).

Taking Pictures at 14 Frames per Second
When 14 fps (mirror up) is selected in continuous high-speed release
mode, the mirror will be raised when the shutter-release button is
pressed all the way down, focus and exposure will lock at the values
selected for the first frame in each burst, and optional flash units will not
fire. The view through the lens is not visible in the viewfinder during
shooting.
