9 When using electronic shutter, the camera shoots with 20FPS under any of the continuous drive mode setting.
10 When using RF lenses and some EF lenses. See Canon’s website for a list of compatible lenses. Burst shooting speed using mechanical shutter varies in up to 3 stages, depending on the battery type, remaining battery charge, number of batteries, lens in use, temperature, setting of the built-in Wi-Fi (On/Off), and whether or not you are using a battery grip and WFT unit, DC coupler or USB power adapter. In addition to the above factors, the maximum burst shooting speed may decrease due to shutter speed, aperture, flash usage, flicker reduction processing, subject conditions, brightness (especially in a dark place).
