Continuous Shutter issue: Nikon D5000

It depends on the camera. For instance with the D300s the max write speed is somewhere around 40mbps. So any card above 40mbps I won't see any increase in performance. Whereas the 1D Mark IV has somewhere around 100mbps if memory serves...

No kidding? Damn, I hate buying cards.

Specs I had read prior to official release so I'm not certain on that figure.... I do know using one though with a 90mbps cards seems like I could shoot 100+ shots before any lag was noticed.

Does the d5000 have active-d lighting? because that slows my d700 down quite a bit, if I turn it off I can get many more shots without a drop in speed.

Are you shooting jpg? ADL won't affect burst speed in RAW.

Try turning off your long exposure noise reduction or your high ISO noise reduction.

On my D90 the buffer will go from 2 shot to 7 with it off.

Give it a try...see what happens.

Good luck!

Yes, the D5000 has d-lighting.

Hi, I recently purchased Nikon D5000 and am a beginner in the world of photography! I was playing with its features and I found that I just cannot take continuous shot with my camera, even though I put it in continuous shot in release mode. The single shot owrks, the timer works, but continuous shot will just not work. I have
A-DATA 16GB Classs 6 SD-HC SDHC Card with the camera. Can anyone figure out what cud be wrong? Thanks heaps!

zensha, (page 66 in manual) Continuous mode can not be used with flash on. Turn dial to no-flash or turn flash off (close it). Maybe this is your problem.

Thanks flatflip. I'm at work at the moment. I'll try it once I get home and see how it goes. Cheers!
