Just recently my new t4i was taking tons of shots (jpg) in burst mode without a hitch. All of a sudden today it would take three shots, then pause, then take two more, then pause, etc., and it was doing this very consistently. I thought maybe it was because I had turned on highlight tone priority, so I turned that off. But that didn't make a difference. I tried taking the battery out to reset it, but that didn't seem to make a difference either. I tried using different modes, but still the burst mode was working very erratically. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Maybe two separate things causing it?

I.e. on the hand maybe one of the settings (even after reset) as suggested by other posters.

But in the first instance of the slow-down, perhaps you card was getting full? Does anybody know how SD cards react to memory fragmentation, does it occur?
