  9. 9Nikon Z 30, Continuous shooting (mechanical): Nikon's in-house measured maximum; the rate is approximate.
  10. 10Nikon Z5IIC, Continuous shooting (electronic): C30 is fixed at JPEG [L]/NORMAL; Nikon advises use of a recommended card.
  11. 11Nikon Z5IIC, Max mechanical shutter speed: The 1/8000 s figure is the overall shutter-speed range; the fastest mechanical speed is 1/4000 s.
  12. 12Nikon Z5IIC, Pre-burst capture duration: In High-Speed Frame Capture +, Pre-Release Capture is fixed at JPEG [L] NORMAL.
  13. 13Canon EOS R5 Mark II, Pre-burst capture duration: Up to 15 shots can be buffered before you fully press the shutter, which is about half a second at 30 fps.
