Canon 5D Mark IV FPS is low

[KCR]

Hello forum members,

I use canon 5D mark IV for most of my shooting. For wildlife photography and bird photography, I am having  a problem with high speed continuous shooting.I don't even get 2 or 3 FPS while shooting high speed continuous servo mode. I have disable DLO and still having problems. 

Any inputs to improve this is appreciated.

Thx

Some troubleshooting tips:

• Reset the camera back to factory defaults - perhaps some setting is reducing FPS
• Are you capturing to the CF card slot only, SD card slot only or both?  If also saving images to the SD card, ensure it's a full-sized SD card and that it has decent write speed (refer to the card's V-rating to understand what it's sustained write speed would be).   The CF card should have around 160 MBps write speed.
• Format the cards to rule out any fragmentation issues which could lead to slower writes.
• If you have multiple lenses, try to see if you can replicate the issue with different lenses.
