High-speed continuous shooting: Max. approx. 7.0 fps

  • With 1/500 sec. or faster shutter speed, maximum aperture (varies depending on the lens), with a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E6N, and at room temperature (73°F/23°C).
  • The maximum continuous shooting speed will decrease under the following shooting conditions:
  • [Anti-flicker shoot.: Enable] results in maximum approx. 6.6 fps.
  • [Dual Pixel RAW: Enable] and RAW or RAW+JPEG image quality.
  • [Digital Lens Optimizer: Enable] will greatly decrease the continuous shooting speed.
  • The continuous shooting speed may become slower depending on the shutter speed, aperture, subject conditions, brightness, lens, flash use, temperature, battery type, remaining battery level, etc.
  • With the AF mode set to One-Shot AF and the Image Stabilizer turned off when using the following lenses: EF 300mm f/4 L IS USM, EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM, EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM, EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM.
  • In AI Servo AF operation, the continuous shooting speed may become slower depending on the subject and the lens used.
  • If you use Battery Pack LP-E6 and shoot in low temperatures (battery temperature is low), the high-speed continuous shooting speed may become slower.
  • The continuous shooting speed may become slower if the remaining battery level is low or if you shoot under low-light conditions.
