Hi Michael. I have no experience shooting with24-105/4 on 5D iV. Hmm. Really do not know how else our cases are different. I usually do not use much of AI tracking if at all. Single shot, focus and recompose or AI tracking case 2 from memory.
Even with longer lenses I was getting around 1500 shooting sports Ai tracking short bursts of 3-5 shots at a time.
I use flash quite heavily at events indoors outdoors.
You wouldn’t have the DPRAW mode enabled would you?
Unless our hardware is different. As in revision.
I really do not understand what makes my use case any different to yours. And I am quite particular around my use cases. Need at least 1200-1400 shots to cover
