tested EOS timing

I tested the camera and EOS Utility. I was curious what I needed to do to get three 30" shots...

• exposure: 30"
• delay: 0"
• time to next: 35"
• shots: 3 (for testing)

It was only when I set the time to next to 35 seconds that it made a shot every 30 seconds... I wondered, out loud, about the 5 second delay. Dietmar said it was the memory speed. Ah. I was testing on the Core memory card.

I tried to find speeds of current CF cards, the Core and the Sandisk. There was nothing on either card. They seem old. Info from web sites suggested they are 22mb/sec. Or slower!
