I was looking at the appropriate thread for this 'discovery', related to the above. This thread looks appropriate. This is with the v1.01 bios...
Last night I was playing around inside with only a few hundred watts of lights on with the continuous HI and Low to see how many shots I could get. thought I changed a setting that had a side-effect of slowing down continuous shooting. I didn't have any lens correction enabled. I was still set on "Hi" mode.
I soon realized when I pointed at the while wall/corner, his was shooting at max. Point at the TV, speed was max. Point at a light, speed was max. Point at dimly lit areas, and speed dramatically decreased to from 3 - 1 shot a sec. So I realized EV level had a huge impact on the continuous rate.
I was doing a lot of continuous shooting of the dogs playing with a ball today, outside, and continuous was at max speed.
Oh, p.s. I found in Continuous AF the camera would often take some shots with the Sigma 70-200/2.8 HSM II lens
completely out of focus; some other times near but very much out of focus. In continuous shooting mode, that's kind'a 'ok' as long as the subject motion isn't too fast and you miss a moment. ...just another thing along the lines of "know your gear" related to continuous AF and shooting.
