Maximum Burst  - Canon EOS 5D Mark III Instruction Manual

One-touch Image Quality Setting
With Custom Controls, you can assign the image-recording quality to
the <B> button or depth-of-field preview button so you can switch to
it momentarily. If you assign [One-touch image quality setting] to the
<B> button or depth-of-field preview button, you can quickly switch
to the desired image-recording quality and shoot.
For details, see Custom Controls (p.321).
If [51: Record func+card/folder sel.] is set to [Rec. separately], you
cannot switch to the One-touch image quality setting.
Maximum Burst During Continuous Shooting
The maximum burst is displayed even when a card is not inserted in the
camera. Make sure that a card is inserted before taking a picture.
If the viewfinder displays "99" for the maximum burst, it means the

maximum burst is 99 or higher. If the maximum burst decreases to 98 or
lower and the internal buffer memory becomes full, "buSY" will be
displayed in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel. Shooting will then be
disabled temporarily. If you stop continuous shooting, the maximum burst
will increase. After all the captured images are written to the card, the
maximum burst will be as listed on page 121.
The maximum burst indicator in the viewfinder will not change even

when you use a UDMA CF card. However, the maximum burst shown in
parentheses on page 121 will apply.
3 Setting the Image-Recording Quality
The maximum burst is displayed on the
bottom right in the viewfinder.
If the maximum burst for continuous
shooting is 99 or higher, "99" will be
displayed.
