D7U HSS mode

[konei]

I'm trying to use the high speed shutter mode where the upgraded D7 takes a series of pictures at 5fps. The shutter clicks when I press the shutter release button. The LCD will blank out after a short while. Could anyone advise what is the time when the pictures are being taken ? Is it from the time I press the shutter release to the time the LCD blanks out or is does it start taking the frames when the screen blanks out. Thanks for your advice.

On a 7i, the shutter sound will rapid fire and the LCD keeps being updated. When the buffer ram runs out, (or you release the shutter button) the screen blanks for a while while it writes the images to CF.

The 7U will be a little different, it has a slower CPU, it may blank the screen while actually taking the pictures to save CPU cycles.

The test of course is to review the results.
