septo Posted September 3, 2019 Share #1 Posted September 3, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Continuous shooting speed of my Q seems much below 10 frames/second. I changed to JPEGS and didn’t detect a significance difference. Anyone else notice this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimBo Posted September 4, 2019 Share #2 Posted September 4, 2019 A firing rate for a digital camera is similar to how they describe the firing rate of a machine gun. The German MG34S has a firing rate of 1700 rounds per minute, but you’d never be able to fire those 1700 rounds. The barrel would melt down after 150 rounds. If the Q had a bigger buffer and faster processor, it might be able to shoot 10 frames in a second. Sadly, it can’t! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

septo Posted September 5, 2019 Author Share #4 Posted September 5, 2019 Hard to believe that Leica would provide incorrect real world capability of the Q- vis a vis- max firing rate of 10 frames per second. Is there not some scenario that speed is attainable with its current specifications? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexS Posted September 10, 2019 Share #5 Posted September 10, 2019 Q: If I set the continuous to 10/sec. It makes about 10 pics in a small second then stops, and then it takes awhile to write them to the card. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
septo Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share #6 Posted September 10, 2019 I just tried something to test shooting speed. Using JPEG, manual setting, I can then get about 10 frames/sec and then have to wait for buffer to clear. If I switch to DNG it fires 5-6 times rapidly but then pauses to clear the buffer. I guess u can get at least 10 frames/second for at least a 1 second period only by shooting JPEGs and so I will keep that in mind if I require that shooting speed Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zampelis Posted September 11, 2019 Share #7 Posted September 11, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) 6 rapid shots in continuous mode is not normal even for DNG.. You should expect 10-13 shots depending on the context before the camera pauses for the buffer to clean. What SD card are you using? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
septo Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share #8 Posted September 11, 2019 I just retested my Q. Using manual focus and full manual control—with JPEG exceeded 10/sec and with DNG, at least 10/sec—all before stopping for buffer etc. I use a Sandisc Extreme Pro 95 MB/sec, 32 gig capacity. When I previously tested, I was not in full manual control and that may have made the difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexS Posted September 11, 2019 Share #9 Posted September 11, 2019 I must add: I have DNG+JPG set: about 10 in a second then stops and writes the buffer onto: Sandisk Extreme Pro 95MB/sec 32GB size. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
