Custom Setting d1: CL-Mode Shooting Speed

This option determines the rate at which photographs can be taken in C

L

(continuous low-speed) mode (during interval timer photography, this set-
ting also determines the frame advance rate for single-frame and mirror-up
modes). Shooting speed can be set to values between 1 and 7 frames per
second (fps); the default value is 3 fps. Regardless of the setting chosen,
the maximum speed when Hi-speed Crop is Off is 4 fps (

advance rate may drop at slow shutter speeds.

right to make a selection.

Custom Setting d2: Max No. of Shots Taken in Continuous Shooting

in a single burst in continuous mode can be set to
