Selecting The Drive Mode; Drive Modes - Canon EOS 40D Instruction Manual

i Selecting the Drive Mode
Single and continuous drive modes are provided. In the Basic Zone
modes, the optimum drive mode is set automatically.
When the internal buffer memory becomes
full during continuous shooting, "buSY" will
be displayed on the LCD panel and in the
viewfinder and shooting will be disabled
temporarily. As the captured images are recorded to the CF card, you will
be able to shoot more images. Press the shutter button halfway to check
in the viewfinder's bottom right for the current maximum burst. This is the
maximum number of shots that can be taken continuously.
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 continuous shooting speed will be slightly slower.
