Canon R6 not reaching 12 fps

weekleyba — Thu, 02 Feb 2023 02:39:30 GMT

I am not able to reach 12 fps with my new R6.

I've went through the all the requirements I could find.

Using full battery LP-E6NH, Anti-flicker off, max aperture used (2.8), shutter at 1/1250, mechanical shutter set, WiFi disabled.

I get the green H+ symbol.

Using EF 70-200mm 2.8L IS III USM & EF 24-70mm IS II USM, with Canon control ring adapter.

Used a iPhone with a stopwatch to count pictures. Right at 6 fps.

What am I missing?

I figured it out. I thought I was in high speed mode but I was not. I was only getting the green H and not the green H+. Switch modes and I get 12 fps in RAW. Funny how you can overlook the obvious!!

I did some more testing and found with my EF 70-200mm 2.8L IS III USM lens, I can go less then the 1/1000 shutter speed and neck down my aperature from the max of 2.8 and still achieve 12 fps. I adjust down both to 1/640 and f4.0 and still got 12 fps. This is good news!
