p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · 5d mark iv ai servo only one frame?


Was exciting to do some action shots this morning to test out the 7 fps and the ai servo focusing.

I hold the button down. Only one frame.

I've tried all kinds of different settings.
Then I reset all the settings to the factory default just in case.
Still no luck. Holding the shutter button down, only one picture.

Before I send it back, does anyone know of something else I should check?

Change the drive mode from single-shot to continuous shooting.

Check your drive mode. Are you on single shot or continuous shooting mode?

My drive mode is ai servo. Is there some other setting I should be checking.
I did try a different lens. No change.

AI Servo is the autofocus mode. We are taking about your frame advance mode — single shot or continuous.

Look at the image below. Right side of the LCD showing camera set to high speed continuous mode.

Thanks. I guess I've had it set up that way so long on my other camera I didn't think to check it.

One Shot = one shot.

Scary.

One Shot is still only the AF mode, and not the drive mode. (not sure why they called it one shot anyways, it is a misnomer).

The single box icon vs multiple boxes designates single frame vs multiple frames. So you can have One Shot turned on, but also have burst mode set, and you don't get one shot any longer. Seems confusing if I hadn't been shooting with Canon very long.

Probably should say AI Static or something like that.

Thanks for the help. I feel pretty stupid. I do know about single shot and multi shot modes. Must have been having a senior moment.

This is when a PDF of the manual is a plus, its easier to get to wanted topic than leafing thru booklet.
