    Question re high speed shooting and long exposures

    I have been working on some startrails/planetrails shots this week and have noticed something very odd about long exposures and high speed shooting mode on my 7D.

    The problem is that even though I have high speed continuous shooting turned ON, I can hear a definite gap between exposures. I'm hearing at least 1/2 second gap between exposures where I should be looking at around 1/8 second (high speed continious shooting mode should yeild up to 8 frames per second on the 7D). There is also a noticable gap in the plane trails caused by this lag between exposures.

    I have searched through the manual and turned off those features that will affect high speed continuous shooting performance:
    • Long exposure noise reduction
    • High ISO noise reduction


    and still no improvemement.

    I've tried RAW mode and JPEG mode and there is no difference.

    Am I missing something?
