ryee3 Posted April 22, 2011 Share #1 Posted April 22, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I recently started using my R lenses on the Digilux 3 to shoot sports. When I press on the shutter button, it fires quickly but other times it seems to fire less. Any other suggestions to get more frames per second by adjusting something on the menus?

M. Valdemar Posted April 24, 2011 Share #2 Posted April 24, 2011 Are you shooting RAW or large jpgs and filling the buffer? R lenses with an adapter for sports seems like a very poor kludge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am shooting RAW and I agree its a poor choice. However, all the Leica digital bodies don't offer more than 2-3 frames per second except for the Digilux 3 which may be 3-4 per second. I am trying to make the best of what I currently own. Thanks for your comments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anabasis Posted April 27, 2011 Share #4 Posted April 27, 2011 It is probably the buffer being full. What might help is a faster card and shooting lower res images. I had that problem with my first digital camera, so I moved from RAW to jpgs for sports. JCA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted April 27, 2011 Share #5 Posted April 27, 2011 "R lenses with an adapter for sports seems like a very poor kludge." Well, it works great on a Canon 5D2! I'll assume you meant on the Digilux 3 specifically. According to dpreview tests - Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1 Review: 11. Timings & Sizes: Digital Photography Review the Panasonic version of the Digilux 3 can do 6 raw shots in a burst (22-28 in JPEG), but then requires 6 seconds of waiting for the buffer to clear before the next two shots, and another six seconds for the next two, etc. Interestingly, the reviewer says "frankly I doubt this will be much of an issue as very few people use RAW mode when shooting continuously."
