Thanks all, for the replies!

To determine fps, I'm shooting my smartphone which is running an atomic clock app. The app shows an anaolog clock with a second hand that ticks the seconds rather than sweeps continuously.

Good news, I repeated my test with a few changes per your suggestions:

  • Fully charged battery
  • Lowered ISO (reduced from 6400 to 800. Which required me to change shutter speed from 1/2000 to 1/500).
  • Changed "High ISO Speed Noise Reduction" from Standard to Low (there is no "Off")

This time, I did get 20 fps. I'm not sure which of the changes were decisive. Maybe I'll play around some more to try to find out.

For those interested, here's the data from my most recent test. The columns are: clock second hand, first frame number, last frame number, and number of frames.
