You can use your digital camera's Burst mode ( ) to capture an action sequence as a series of pictures. When you set the camera to Burst mode, the status LCD shows the remaining sets of pictures that can be taken. For instance, if the remaining storage in your memory card allows you to take 40 individual pictures, the status LCD will display 5 (that is, 40 pictures / 8 pictures per set = 5 sets of burst pictures) as the remaining sets of pictures that can be taken in Burst mode. Burst pictures can be taken only at Half (1024 x 768) resolution and at Medium or Low quality. If these settings are not chosen for your camera, the camera automatically sets itself to Half resolution and Medium quality. Here is how to take Burst pictures: 1.
