Canon EOS R6 Shooting Frame Rates

On the Canon EOS R6, if like me you wondered how to find the single shot vs continuous shooting setting and couldn’t find it, read on.

Use the Q button to bring up the menu items. The shooting setting is fourth from the left on the bottom row. Tap on that and now there are options, including self-timer options, Slow Speed Continuous, High Speed Continuous, and High Speed Continuous+

Not surprisingly the difference between High-Speed Continuous and High-Speed Continuous+ is their maximum shooting speeds.

High-Speed Continuous+ shoots up to 12 fps with the mechanical shutter and up to 20 fps with the electronic shutter.

High-Speed Continuous shoots at 8 fps with the mechanical shutter. In fact, High-Speed Continuous mode is only available with the mechanical or first-curtain electronic shutter. With electronic shutter, the only high-speed option is H+.

High-Speed Continuous suits me because 8 fps is already a shock even when I am expecting it. Plus, it is supposed to have more reliable AF tracking than H+.
