Digital Camera Burst or Continuous modes

It's fun for me to share my limited knowledge with people to help them get just a little more out of technology. I had the opportunity today to help a basketball mom learn how to use the continuous mode (burst mode) with her new digital camera. One of the great complaints about digital cameras is their slow shutter response. Fortunately, most digital cameras have improved that feature. One feature that many digital cameras have that can help you get the perfect shot is the continuous shooting mode or burst mode. This mode allows you to hold down the shutter of your camera and have it take a rapid fire of photos. This is known as burst or continuous shooting and it allows you to take 2-3 pictures each second!

Having the ability to shoot pictures in this manner allows you to catch those fast moving kids, sports figures, or even maximize your shot talking ability at sunset or sunrise. First you have to find the symbol that enables this mode on your camera. The symbol looks like the graphic in this tip. It enables differently on every camera, so look for the symbol next to a button on your camera or in its menus.

This leads me to another tip that we discussed years ago (and you can read here ) regarding tech device manuals. Usually, the companies don't include a paper manual, but a full illustrated manual exists on the CD that came with the device. Use my tip linked here to learn how to use it and/or print it.
