It captures the images at whatever quality setting you have chosen. The number you can capture in one burst will depend on your settings. Increasing the ISO will decrease the total number captured in a burst. |
I would expect this to be true only when capturing JPEG. This is because images with more noise (higher ISO)can't be compressed as small or quickly. I would expect that for RAW, the number and/or speed would remain constant, limited by the buffer capacity. YMMV, as I haven't tried this in practice! |
I've used continuous on the 40D in RAW and the ISO setting doesn't have any effect on the buffer, but having high ISO noise reduction switched on does reduce the burst from 17 RAW to 6. |

Sheesh, you shoulda asked me when you were here; I been using CF13-1 since the day I got the camera...

| someone should post some 100 pecent crop of the full range of ISO all of the same subject. I'm curious to see what this thing does. |

The number in a burst changes based on settings, RAW or jpeg.
High ISO images take up more space regardless of image type. Kirbic would probably have the technical details on how that happens.
The burst is only the number of shots to completely fill the buffer. However, you can keep shooting since as one image is cleared you can take another one, only the fps rate will be lower.

Thanks |
Found it! G9 This what you are looking for? Never mind. It's just the owners manual.

Perhaps a high ISO setting equals more acquisition sensitivity and more processing time?

Deb, try custom function 13. Set that to "1", and you can set the autofocus point with the joystick without pressing the other button first. I'm assuming it's the same for the 30D as for my 20D and 5D (both are custom function 13). |

You can make the joystick control the focus points (use custom functions). When activated it allows you to use the joystick to move the focus point to any of the nine points by moving the joystick in that direction. To get back to the center simply press the joystick.
Is this what you are after? |
Okay that is freakin cool. Is the new 5d gonna have that? |

There's a custom function that lets the multicontroller (joystick, as [user]Ramblin[/user] called it) do this without having to push any other buttons. I have mine set this way - makes choosing the focus point really fast and easy.

| I tend to do the same as yourself, Deb. I use the center point and then recompose. Sometimes that also throws off the metering. I'll use the focuspoints when I am doing tripod work and recomposing is the greater hassle. |

| That I will have to try. Gotta be a bit quicker than running through them all with the thumbwheel! (Note to self - find the stupid manual.... learn to use custom functions. And you call yourself a geek...) |

The AF seems to be blazin' compared to my 20D, when using the 70-200 F4L IS and the 1.4 extender. When I try other lenses, I will lest you guys know.
I read the manual, and there doesn't appear to be a way to select 2/more focus points, the selection procedure is nearly identical to the 20D. |

| I'm in a lazy mood - I was hoping someone who currently shoots with a 30D would already know the answer to this dilemma. Or if the 50D can do it. Though I would indeed prefer it if the 30D would, since it's still a fine little camera and I'm on a serious conservation/don't buy new things/get rid of unused things kinda kick at the moment. Ground up all my charge cards but one, and am contemplating taking all my cash out of my bank in small but regular increments and keeping it in my mattress.... |

Mostly what I want is the ability to have two focus points "ready" on my camera. I do almost all my shooting in a rather impromptu fashion. Currently I leave the camera focus on the center point, but have to recompose after achieving focus. Very hard to do with the 10-22 on if I wish to have the focal point closer to the sides of the frame. I'm just not fast enough to change from the center to the left or the center to the right focal points. Maybe something that toggles between those three instead of all 9 or whatever? I should read about custom functions.... for all I know this may exist. |
Does the multi-way controller thingy help here? On my camera, I can move away from the centre focus point and then click the multi-way jobbie and it reverts to the centre point. When I click it again, it goes back to the other focus point. Repeated clicks serve to toggle between the two.

The glamour
is there a rogue button on the D20 you can choose a function for, Deb. There's one like that on the D200. :) |
