Hi All,
I noticed something which that just came up cause it was the first time I put this to a serious test. I didn't previously cause I didn't want to wear the camera out early without using it specifically for what I wanted it for, which is sports. Anyway what i noticed is when I hold the button down for continuous shooting at 3fps or roughly thereabouts, it jams sometimes. Its not a mechanical jam, but I think what happens is the camera tries to re-focus. I never had this problem with my Sony H9. With the H9, once I focus by pressing button halfway down, and then all the way and hold it, it never failed to keep shooting until I released my finger. However with the 330, it seems about half the time when I hold the button down, after a few frames it stops shooting and I think its trying to re-focus. This is very irritating. Has anyone else had this problem. It did it with both the lens kit the camera came with, as well as the big beer can. I am shooting cat 1-2 bicycle racing at speeds only about 20-25mph, but at close range sometimes, and also the speed is high in order to freeze the frame. Even though I have it set at 1/2000, my H9 never had a problem with the same settings. The problem seems the same at various range of the telephoto and wide angle end. I also used a single pod for stablization, so I believe the camera was pretty still in that regard.
Anybody have a clue?
Thanks,
