Multiple Exposure with High Speed Continuous Shooting

Ralph57 — Fri, 17 Apr 2020 09:24:02 GMT

Hello, I have a question concerning my EOS 80D.

I am trying to take a MULTIPLE EXPOSURE photo of 9 (AVERAGED) merged photos.

The camera is also set to HIGH-SPEED CONTINUOS SHOOTING to take the 9+ photos.

When doing so, the HIGH-SPEED CONTINUOS SHOOTING is reduced from approx. 7 photos/second to less than 1 photo/second.

Extremely slow.

I am trying to reproduce a strobe light effect. This should be possible.

Live view is turned off and I shoot in RAW.

My camera has the latest Firmware Version 103 installed.

I have tested this with other brand name cameras and it works fine.

Is this normal for my Camera?

If yes, is this also normal for Models such as the 6D or 5D?

Thank you in advance.

Page 215 of your manual:

" During continuous shooting, the continuous shooting speed will decrease greatly."

That line is a classic! I have to wonder if it was originated by a politician.

Continuous Shooting gets slower because of the Bus Speed. Writing the RAW data to the card. That is normal and I am aware of that. But in my example, it doesn't get slower. It is slow from the start!

Do you have lens corrections or digital lens optimiser turned on?

Someone did not bother to read page 215!

Thanks. It says on page 215, Multiple Exposure, while shooting in Continuous Mode the speed is greatly reduced.
It is a Canon issue.

No, it is an in-camera processing issue. If you take the shots and post process on the computer, you will be fine.

Is this image similar to the type of end result that you are looking for? It was created using a Speedlite in Multi mode.

This image is a screenshot from a YouTube video, "Speedlite Basics", the first in a series by The Photographers Academy.
