My 4 year old 80D has just developed an annoying fault. After a few shots it switches itself from high speed continuous shooting to low speed. It does the same each time it is switched off and on again. Does anyone have any experience of this fault or a suggestion of how to remedy it? Doesn't seem to relate to the lens being used as I have tried swapping lenses and the problem still occurs.
 
Do you mean that it 'actually' switches modes (i.e. you can see in the settings that it has changed from one to the other) or that as you are shooting the frame rate slows down? If the latter, this is maybe the buffer filling and the 'write' to the card has slowed down!

Furthermore, when did this start to happen i.e. have you previously used a card with a higher 'write' speed?

HTH perhaps.

Yes the mode changed in the settings from high speed to low, and Ive tried several lenses and all my different batteries. I've updated the firmware which seems to have resolved the issue (fingers crossed) Thanks for your responses.

Which "Shooting Mode" are you using?
