evf slow at burst mode

[johnramos0]

Hello,

I've just purchased the XT-3 and I have noticed that in burst mode at CH (8 or 11 frames per second with mechanical shutter) there is a significant delay on the evf and rear display that you could not follow your subject. Has anyone noticed the same problem?

Are you using it in the preset "power saving" mode? If so you need to turn this off in the menu.

Thank you for your reply.

I have checked every possible setting, including power saving mode. I also checked again with the technician at the shop were I bought it and he confirmed the lag.

The conglusion is that if you disable the autofocus you have a smooth evf. The autofocus need a lot of CPU and that causes the evf to lag. Unfotunately I had to return it back because of this. The viewfinder is very critical for me and I can't ignore this problem.

Did you have it set in Boost mode?

This is very odd. Mine does not suffer lag unless I am not in "boost" mode.... Sounds like you had a defective camera?
