Slow burst rate in CH with mechanical shutter


Recommended Posts

The CH burst shooting speed on my XH1 seems to be way slower than it should be on the mechanical shutter. 

I've never really used continuous shooting before, but I need it now for a specific project.

As far as i can tell from timing it with a stopwatch, I'm getting between 5 and 6 fps with the drive dial set to CH. 

I have it set to 11fps in the shooting menu.

Battery grip attached with fully charged batteries, set to "boost". No difference between having the grip on or not. 

I'm getting the same speed whether shooting raw or small JPEGs. It's much faster (around 11 fps) with the electronic shutter, but I can't use that for this project because of the (artificial) lighting conditions. 

I remember my old Xt2 being much faster than this camera. 

Am I missing a setting somewhere?

I am currently having exacty the same issues with my X-Pro3 as what’s been mentioned here, bar the batt grip option as there’s no such thing for X-Pro’s. I hope you have since resolved your problem. I am still looking for an answer.

    • Hello. Thankyou,now Is all more clear: I have take some time in you link. Let tell you.i was totaly forget this machine have "compress picture option" and not Only "compress lossless" anyway not change the experiment. RAW  and this last two format look like same result about Number of recording picture. Can tell alll results in this: in raw you can make 17 pictures for second.Is wrong.Is about One single Press and wait buffer. Full 30/20/10/8 not change. After 17 Need Press again. You not can Press before "redgreen light recording Is on"   With preshot you can have 25  are more 7 pictures  The story change Only in jpg shot only. In jpg at 30 you have 30 picture but redgreen light off very Fast so you can shot very quicly. At 20 shot Is about start look like infinite shot. 60   So the best performance are this last One  about Speed and recording picture after camera working witout big limit I want take a shot about Italy cyclet Just for passion. I think i Will use this last setting.  After Need check when battery not are full change and ambient temp.  Anyway my cam look like exactly specific about you link. Im Happy my cam working perfectly 
    • I do not use Flickr, so I do not know what their BB code is. All I did was copy the second link you provided, (starting at https: and ending at  _k.jpg — leave off the [img] and [/img] tags) and pasted it into the message. After a moment, a message popped up asking if I wanted to paste it as the image or as a plain link. I did this twice, the first time I had it paste in as the image and the second time as a link. Nothing fancy or tricky.
    • So do I just copy the BB code from flickr and paste it anywhere on the page like other forums or is there some other trick I need to perform to get it to post?
    • All software is the latest between camera and app. All settings are correct on camera. I have both lossless and uncompressed RAW files on the card in the camera. I have been up and down every reddit thread to no avail and am losing my mind… I’m doing all of the right things. It even sees my camera. It just doesn’t create the “drive” for it (see attached image screenshot).  Please Help!

    • Not sure how to delete threads, but I figured out what was wrong. In short, I was partially misunderstanding the view-mode's function. Also, the "+LCD Image Display" part requires that you have the Image Disp. setting set to anything but Off. Then it will display your last image on the LCD. If it's off, it's behavior will be exactly like the plain Eye Sensor setting.
