1D-IIn frame rate problem

It would be nice if Canon would make a firmware update for the 1D-IIn that allows you to adjust the "low" frame rate as a menu adjustment rather than a "computer required" adjustment.

For example, I am shooting figure skating - senior and adult skaters benifit from 8fps (or even higher :) when shooting jumps/spins. Junior skaters have better jump/spin images when shooting at 5fps. For horse jumping, 3 and 4 fps seems to be optimal for high (1.5m or higher) jumps whereas 5-7 fps seem better for lower jumps (1m or so). This difference is cause by the basic characteristic of the sports.

Since such venues usually have all possible categories of shooting requirements, it would be VERY VALUABLE to have an menu selection that allows you to adjust the needed low FPS.

On the other hand, has anybody found a way to get around this limitation?

Set the two frame rates you use most often apart from the defaults. If you want the defaults then cancel the appropriate Pfn in the camera menu. If you want the custom rates again then re-set the PFn in the camera menu.

That's about as flexible as you will get with the present firmware.
