Glad it is sorted.
Like I said, anything more technical than frame rate, and my brain goes mushy.
I see I misunderstood the part where the camera actually was stopping on it's own after 5 shots. Sorry about that. Wasn't trying to be condescending or anything. It think my brain got confused when you said you thought that would happen only in CH. I think I now understand what you were trying to say.

Have fun.

Really, thanks. Your comments were helpful

Since I don't know anything about write speeds, I looked at the specs. You get a whopping 10 image buffer capacity under optimal circumstances with 14 bit compressed Raw using a 16gig 95MB/s card.
JPeg you get up to 100 buffer capacity depending on the settings. Let us know what happens when you use a faster card.

My D300 would bog down considerably when trying to shoot long exposures consecutively. It was frustrating.

I think that makes sense since i shoot RAW + JPEG (so 5=10)

Aren't CL and CH frame rates changeable in the settings? Perhaps that option is not available in that model. Depending on the settings, you may also have a long lag time when capturing the overexposed frames when bracketing exposure.
