6D - Slow Write Speed to Fast SanDisk Ultra & Extreme SD
I have a Canon 6D that can save a RAW-Only Image at 1 Frame Per Second (forever) until SD Card is FULL = Good.
My friend's Canon 6D can only save 15 RAWS and then slows down to one image every 2 seconds = Bad.
We understand that his camera is filling the Fast Internal Buffer and then slowing down.
But it should not do this at only 1 FPS.
So, WHY is his "Write to SD Card" much slower in his camera, vs my camera?
Is his SD PORT defective ?
Otherwise, his SD Port works perfectly!
Can it be some obscure setting?
Is there any way to TEST the SD Port on a Canon 6D?
We are using the same SD cards.
