hello everyone..as i mentioned in an earlier topic am still new to the dslr types..
i was wondering if the canon xti can shoot up to 3f/s is it possible to make continuous shooting at this rate..i mean to shoot 3f/s for a couple of seconds ( so i can catch very fast moving objects)?
thanks in advance..

| I believe its rated for 14 Frames in Raw and 100 in JPEG. After that it slows down |

3 fps Continuous shooting is normal for xti. the results are better if your have a High speed card because - the faster the data is transfered to the card, longer you can shoot. I have tested mune for more than 20 frames without a hitch

| Look at the buttons along the right side of the LCD screen on the back of your camera. The button on top says Av+/- and the next button down has three small graphics each referring to different shooting modes. Press that button (the second one down) and then use the right arrow to move over to the second option, Continuous shooting, and then press the center key to select it. Now press your shutter down and hold it down. You are now taking continuous photos at 3 frames per second. Release the shutter to stop. |

That is right but sometimes it does 8 RAW, and do not ask me why.
If you save small or meduim files you may give up yourself, before the camera stops taking picturs.
And the faster your memory card is the faster you can start shooting again. |

You can also buy a remote if you wanted to get crazy. There's a remote you can get that effectively holds down the shutter full press button.
Actually, you can do this yourself with a couple of switches, a pair of cutters and a 2.5mm stereo plug... maybe a soldering iron too. the remote socket on the Rebel series is nothing more internally.
The way the remote socket works is that it puts out a small amount of current across two terminals with one as a ground/return.
so cut the plug at a comfortable length, strip the wires back a bit and you have three wires.
Plug it into the camera and choose one wire to test. touch them together briefly until you have determined which one is ground.
(Don't worry, it's not dangerous if you use common sense. I did this to my 30D and had no trouble even though my project was a beam breaker and didn't turn out - leaving the circuits open for several seconds before I hit the reset button... it's about as dangerous as leaving your finger on the shutter button)
Once you know which one is ground, you can further identify which one is the half-press circuit and which one is the full-press circuit.
Beyond this, all you need to do is connect the two switches. Both switches go to ground.
If you want to set up the shot, flick the half-press, then when things are locked to satisfaction, flick the other switch. The camera will then continue shooting as long as it can. if you use a slightly smaller resolution or something, you can just let it fill up a card. Lots of fun if 3FPS is fast enough and you have a big card... oh and a monster HD.. :)
Should be able to make one of these in about five minutes. It's very, very easy.
