    Solution

    When the Shutter Mode is Set to [ Mechanical ] or [ Elec. 1st-curtain]
    • When using RF lenses or some compatible EF lenses, the continuous shooting speed of [ ](High-speed continuous shooting+) and [ ](High-speed continuous shooting) changes in up to three stages as in the table below in response to factors, such as battery type/remaining capacity, use of a battery grip/wireless file transmitter, number of battery packs used, use of a DC coupler/USB power adaptor, lens used, temperature, whether the built-in Wi-Fi is ON or OFF, etc.

    * The maximum burst during continuous shooting may be slower depending on the shutter speed, aperture, use of flash, flicker reduction, subject conditions, brightness (shooting in a dark environment), etc.

    • The conditions under which the continuous shooting speed is approximately 12 shots per second in [ ] (High-speed continuous shooting+) are as follows.

    Battery Grip BG-R10 (sold separately) Power SourceTemperatureWi-Fi SettingsRemaining Battery Capacity Lens Used
    OFFBattery Pack LP-E6NHRoom temperature (+23℃)OFFApprox. 60% or higherWhen RF lenses or certain EF lenses are used*
    DC coupler DR-E6 (sold separately)0℃ or higher-
    ONLP-E6NH (2 pcs.)Room temperature (+23℃)Both battery packs at approx. 60% or higher

    *For details on the EF lenses, see "EF Lenses Supporting 12 Shots/Sec. Continuous Shooting".

    • Even if the remaining battery capacity is lower than what is listed in the table above, depending on the level of battery recharge performance and shooting conditions, a maximum burst of approx. 12 shots per second may still be possible.
    • When using Battery Pack LP-E6N, with the battery at near full capacity and used at room temperature (+23℃), a maximum burst of approx. 12 shots per second is possible. (The amount of remaining battery capacity to allow a maximum burst of approx. 12 shots per second depends on the level of battery recharge performance and shooting conditions.)

    IMPORTANT
    • Continuous shooting speed may become slower when using battery packs with weaker recharge performance.
    • Under the following conditions, continuous shooting of approx. 12 shots per second cannot be performed.
    - Wi-Fi connection: ON
    - One Battery Pack LP-E6NH is used when the Battery Grip BG-R10 (sold separately) is in use
    - Battery Pack LP-E6 is used
    - Wireless File Transmitter WFT-R10 (sold separately) is used
    - USB Power Adaptor PD-E1 (sold separately) is used
    • During Servo AF, depending on subject conditions or the lens used, the continuous shooting speed may be slower.
    • With [ : Anti-flicker shoot.] set to [Enable], the continuous shooting speed may be slower when shooting under flickering light. In addition, the continuous shooting interval may become irregular and the release time lag may become longer.
    • When internal memory becomes full during continuous shooting, the continuous shooting speed may drop off because shooting will be temporarily disabled.

    When the Shutter Mode is set to [Electronic]
    During continuous shooting, if the following conditions are satisfied, high-speed continuous shooting (maximum burst of 20 shots per sec.) is performed.

    • The lens is set to maximum aperture except for when using an EF-S lens*.
    *For details on the lenses, see "List of lenses that the continuous shooting speed of max. approx. 20 fps less likely to decrease".

    • The continuous shooting speed may change in response to the shutter speed, aperture, aperture status during continuous shooting, subject conditions, brightness (shooting in a dark environment, etc.), type of lens, etc.
