setting a 1D Mark Iv to shoot at 10fps.

Newton19 — Thu, 13 Nov 2025 22:13:16 GMT

I got as far as hitting the 10 per second icon in Autofocus/Drive but,

cant seem to roll down 2 spaces to the apply box and stuck on one shot at a time

Thanks for any advice .

You should be using the quick control wheel (the big dial on the back of the camera) to set that. Make sure the power switch is aligned with the white line to enable the quick control dial. Note not every lens supports 10 fps shooting. Lenses that don’t will make the camera slow down automatically. Canon has a list of lenses that support 10 fps shooting.

Are you using the correct dial on the back of the camera. The dial behind the shutter button is not the correct dial. Are you holding down the button while turning the dial.

I am confused, are you in the custom function setup where you can set a maximum FPS limit? If this camera is new to you, I would reset the custom functions to factory default. By default, that limit isn't enabled so all of the selection is done by the regular drive mode button so that you can select high or low as your drive speed limit resulting in 10 fps high (assuming your shutter speed is set fast enough to allow for this drive rate) and 3 fps low.

If you are in custom function III -18 on the custom function menu, set this custom function to disable so that the drive speed limits of 10 in high and 3 in low are used. If you enable CFN III -18 then you can separately limit the high and low speed maximum rate by registering a value. But it doesn't sound like that is what you want to do.

Definitely go online and download the manual but in the meantime here is how you clear the custom functions and I would to that now. And I believe you need to use the set button to select your choice so that may be the reason you have been unable to do so.

What lenses are you using? Not every EF lens made is capable of 10/ 12 fps shooting especially older lenses. Canon has a list of lenses which are compatible.

You are welcome! My first serious digital camera was a 1D mark II back in 2005 and I shoot primarily sports!

I am not sure about one person's advice but you do need to do as Rodger recommends and do a full reset. Since the 1D Mk IV is a old used camera who knows what may be set. Also keep in mind 10fps depends on SS as it has to be quick enough for the camera to physically be able to do 10fps.

Thank You. Yeah I mean why not right, seems simple enough. 24 buttons on the body so once you dial in , it's Happy Hunting

I bought used and was taking excellent pics so it's capable after all these years Thinking about sending off to the factory and let the experts do their thing with a tune up

It probably has the previous owner’s copyright so check that.

That lens is NOT capable of 10 fps. Only the newer version 2 of the lens is. This is because the aperture opens up and closes between shots. The camera does NOT hold the aperture closed between shots. In older lenses the communication speed is slower thus limiting how quickly the aperture can stop down. But the camera will automatically slow down for lens the lens’ maximum frame rate.
