1 Average frame rate with continuous-servo AF, manual or shutter-priority
auto exposure, a shutter speed of
values, and memory remaining in memory buffer. Maximum frame advance
rate when recording NEF (RAW) or NEF (RAW) + JPEG pictures with [14 bit]
selected for [NEF (RAW) recording] > [NEF (RAW) bit depth] (pg. 59) is
2.5 fps.
2 Maximum frame advance rate with EN-EL3e battery is 6 fps, even when
[7 fps] is selected for Custom Setting d4 ([CL mode shooting speed],
pg. 282).
3 Maximum frame rate in continuous-low speed mode is 7 fps. If [On] is
selected for [ISO sensitivity settings] > [ISO sensitivity auto control] in the
shooting menu (pg. 96), maximum frame advance rate in continuous high-
speed mode is 7.5 fps.
4 Frame rate slows at low temperatures and when batteries are low.
A
Buffer Size
The approximate number of images that can be
stored in the memory buffer at current settings is
shown in the exposure-count displays in the
viewfinder and control panel while the shutter-
release button is pressed. The illustration at right
shows the display when space remains in the
buffer for about 37 pictures.
A
Auto Image Rotation
The camera orientation recorded for the first shot applies to all images in
the same burst, even if the camera is rotated during shooting. See "Auto
Image Rotation" (pg. 317).
