FZ200 Drive Mode

I have my FZ200 set up for either 2 or 5.5 fps with the "with focus between frames" enabled, but I have noticed that the shutter continues to fire past the "2 or 5.5" fps when the shutter is kept pressed - is this normal or is it supposed to stop after the selected fps rate.

fps is frames per second. The camera will shoot at that rate until its buffer fills as long as the shutter button is kept pressed

This sounds normal.

The 2 or 5.5 fps is how fast the camera will shoot.

When in 5.5fps burst mode, the camera will shoot approx 5.5 images every second.

The limit is not one second, but how many shots per second.

My main camera can shoot at 11fps...but most times I only take 3- 5 images in a burst...that is I let my finger get off the shutter prior to one seconds time.

So it took less images. But still was shooting at 11fps.

Cameras with bigger buffer can keep on shooting for many seconds.

Most Panasonic cameras can shoot at 2fps continuous for many, many seconds.

So if you don't want all the pictures, just let off the shutter sooner or set a slower frame rate.

Hope this helps

Thank you all, my brain was not thinking "Physical frames per second" but got stuck thinking the shutter would just fire of a set number of frames then stop.

But it makes sense now that the shutter will just keep firing until the buffer is Full.
