burst mode on a Pentax K3.
my most used shooting mode.
8.3 fps and up to 80 jpegs in a row... almost ideal for what i do.
but, sometimes i only get as few as 30 jpegs in a burst before slowdown.
does anyone know what exactly determines how many pics the camera maxes out at?
i have done some trials on my own, and this is what i gathered so far:
shooting the exact same scene, i found that i can double my burst length with the following settings:
1) lower ISO gives more pics
2) turning off most processing like CA etc off gives more pics, but some other processing doesn't seem to make a difference.
3) setting jpeg to full size gives more pics than scaling to a smaller jpeg
4) less dynamic scenes equal more pics
i am using a sandisk extreme and it's not an issue with a slow card before anyone asks. i can get up to 80ish pics sometimes.
jsut concerned about camera settings, so i can set one of my user modes to max out the burst.
so anyone have any advice about what determines maximum burst amount?
specifically long bursts of 8fps jpegs.
