Title: Canon: How to change frames per second...
Post by: Tobias Timm on March 13, 2015, 08:07:36 PM

Hello,

I have a canon T3i and would like shoot at more frames/second to increase my chances of catching birds in flight. Changing the shutter speed is easy, but the frames per second? If anyone can find a link it would be appreciated!

Go to page 88,  also make sure you have a fast/very fast SD card.  90MB/sec or faster otherwise your buffer will fill up and your camera will only take pictures as fast as your card can transfer the info. It should shoot 3.6 frames/sec which isn't too bad.
