I've started a poll link on the K-5 Low speed continuous shooting. Participate please.
Thanks,
Ian.

It works a treat Smeggy.

I started a thread link on the ultra slow (1.6fps) Low speed continuous shooting of the K-5. I was using a K-7 where Low speed was 3fps which I found ideal for Street, general photography & some sport. I find 1.6fps too slow to be useful. How do you feel?

"Certain types of 'smoke' and it'll feel like 1 frame per hour"

OK, OK, Smeggy; you must have noticed my local village is Nimbin the most alternative village in Oz & our marijuana capital.

A friend taught me to leave my camera on continuous & the 3fps of my K-7 was ideal.

"Start a new thread with a poll, I would be interested."

I'll do that this (Oz) evening.

I thought 5fps on my K-7 was good for sport but for catching that "peak of the action" moment the K-5 7fps should be better - AF permitting.

The K-7 Lo speed of 3fps I've found is excellent for general use including sport but 1.6fps feels like I could roll a smoke between frames! When I first used Lo speed on the K-5 I waited & waited (it seemed like forever) . thinking there was a problem with the camera. Finally it fired, another wait of half an aeon & it fired again. It was so slow I thought it must be 1fps!

Perhaps I should have attached a poll. Do you use 1.6fps? Or perhaps "is 1.6fps satisfactory?"

3fps is great for Street & more sedate situations but 7 should be great for sport - if the AF can keep up.

That link still times out for me.

Seems as if it's an Oz problem as it still times out for me John. I've tried both Chrome & Firefox. I must be too far away

I can't get escapadepr to work as it times out.

" Just last weekend I found out how totally useless that 1.6 fps is and had to switch back to my default 7 fps and just delete the excess."

That's an awful lot of laborious deleting if you do it in the camera.
