Continuous Shoot Freezing with SX 50

Hi, I've had every Canon Sx camera except for sx30. The Canon SX50 seems to have the best picture quality (better than SX60) but the problem is the continuous shot mode freezes. What I mean by that is when it works it shoots 20-30 shots in a row without stopping. When it freezes it will take one picture then pause for about two seconds and I have to press the shutter again and it will repeat. I have bought three SX50's and they all did the same thing. I have to do a total reset then it may work correctly for the rest of the day. I have tried different different memory cards. I use the San disk extreme plus 80mb/s and the extreme pro 280 mb/s. It freezes on both cards.

Here are the settings I use:I use Custom Mode. Start in P mode than save it in Custom mode.

AF Frame Flexizone

Digital Zoom- Off

AF-Point Zoom- Off

Continuous AF- On

AF assist beam-Off

MF Point Zoom- Off

Safety MF- Off

High ISO NR- Standard

Spot AE Point- Center

Review- Quick

Is Mode- Continuous

Dynamic IS- 1

Display Area-Small

Function Set

DR Correction- Off

AWB- Auto

BKT- Off

Continuous

Spot

Jpeg 12M

I called Canon support and they did not know much. All they said was to do a reset all three times I called. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,Tony
