The maximum burst during continuous shooting depends on the image-recording
quality and the drive mode (high-speed/low-speed continuous shooting). The
approx. maximum burst during continuous shooting is indicated below for each
image-recording quality. Note that with high-speed CF cards, the maximum burst
may be higher than shown in the table below depending on the shooting conditions.

* Continuous shooting is possible until the CF card becomes full.

The number of shots remaining during the
maximum burst is displayed on the lower
right of the viewfinder.

If “9” is displayed, it indicates that the maximum burst is nine or more
shots. If “5” is displayed, it is five shots.

While you are shooting and the number of shots remaining in the
maximum burst is fewer than 9, the viewfinder will display “8”, “7”, etc. If
you stop the continuous shooting, the maximum burst will increase.

Maximum Burst

The maximum burst is displayed even when the drive mode is set to
(Single) or . The maximum burst is displayed even when a
CF card is not in the camera. Therefore, before shooting, make sure that
a CF card is installed in the camera.
