OK, so I went to the air show to get take some pics. When I turned on my camera with the 18-55 kit lens on and attempted to take my first shots, there was a noticeable lag once the shutter button was fully depressed. The the shot was in focus, and I checked, and reset, all settings but nothing really seemed to help. I would have to hold the button down for a good 3 to 5 seconds before the camera would finally fire. Once the first shot finally did fire I could then fire off a few shots in rapid succession. And this is where the one noticeable change was apparent. In the viewfinder, where typically I see a "9" in the bottom right corner indicating Max Burst is ready/able to fire off 9 consecutive shots, the number was down to "4", and the Focus confirmation light (the green dot) was sometimes slowly blinking as though it was not in focus even though at half press, focus of my subject was being achieved.
This occurred in Tv, Av, and P modes (I didn't check others cause I rarely if ever shoot in the other modes). The SD card I have in it was a class 10 card, so burst speed from the card shouldn't be bogging it down the camera. Also I swapped out my batter for a fully recharged one.
Any thoughts on what might be the cause?
Thanks for any advice,
