Thanks for that - but can it go faster if you set it to continuous drive and just pump the shutter button about once per second? Does turning off the review make any difference?

Much obliged!

I have review turned off anyway. Trouble is, if you want to use the viewfinder with the screen folded in, it turns off manual focus whether you want to or not. However, if you first set to manual focus, there is an option of continuous shooting with no live view blackout. If you do that, it is indeed possible to pump the shutter button every second or so. Blimmin' long-winded. They really should have made the G1X suited for the people who actually want a serious camera, rather than the point-and-shoot masses! Simpler and straightforward would have been good.

Interesting - thank you for that info!

Regards,
Scott
