canon eos m50

[Adsome2007]

My eos m50 only shoots 8 photos at a time in burst mode and shoots very slowly at like 2 shots a second how do I fix this. Do I have to stop shooting raw. Btw my memory card is 80 mb/s

Consumers are demanding mirrorless cameras because generally they're as good and as versatile as DSLRs, but are smaller and lighter. While that's one of the draws of the 24.1-MP Canon EOS M50, it's not the only one.

But on the website it says it shoots at 7fps but I'm getting nowhere near that. Is it and issue in the settings menu. It was shooting fine until I recently changed the settings which made it shoot slower. Any idea which setting it could be.

If it were one of their DSLRs there can be servo high and servo low settings, the latter about 3fps, and high is as fast as it can go.

 

If you're not using a short shutter, that will also eat into the shooting rate.

What he said.

You are filling the buffer; your memory card is probably the culprit here. Most of the time, the rated speed is only the read speed, not the write speed, and your camera can't clear the buffer fast enough because your memory card is probably holding you back.

 

Use a good, brand name SD card with a minimum classification of V30 rating or higher; I only recommend Sandisk Extreme Ultra's or ProGrade brand memory cards these days.

 

Also, the other option is that you are in Continuous Low mode; change it to Continuous High mode.
