Burst Mode and explanation also discount canon digital cameras. The Burst Mode:
What it is: A mode that enables you to take many individual frames per second.
Where to find it: Typically, a button on the outside of your digital camera with several squares stacked on top of each other. May be a setting inside the digital camera menus.
What it does: Ever get frustrated while shooting photos of a moving object? Just as soon as you get your focus and exposure locked down, the object moves just out of your frame, ruining your shot. Burst mode may be the remedy.
When burst mode is enabled, the camera takes several photographs per second - typically 3-5 FPS on most modern SLRs - until you either remove your finger from the shutter or the camera runs out of buffer memory. This can be a big help when photographing sports or some other type of fast-paced action — just push your finger down and pan your camera along with the subject as it is moving. A lot of your shots may wind up to be losers, but sometimes burst mode helps you get that one, perfect photograph.
What to watch out for: Your digital camera can only take so many shots in burst mode before it runs out of a place to store them. Because your digital camera cannot write to its memory card at the same pace that it can fire off photos, your shots taken in burst mode are stored in buffer memory until they can be written to the card. Buffer memory is fairly small, meaning you may be able to use burst mode only for a few seconds until it fills up. Buying a memory card that operates at faster speeds is one way of getting a bit more out of burst mode.
