Burst mode, also known as continuous shooting mode, allows a camera to take multiple photographs in quick succession by holding down the shutter button. This feature is particularly useful in action photography, sports, and wildlife photography, where capturing the perfect moment requires rapid-fire shots. Burst mode speed is measured in frames per second (fps), and higher-end cameras can achieve faster burst rates. Using burst mode increases the likelihood of capturing a decisive moment, such as a bird in flight or a goal being scored, ensuring you don’t miss critical action in your photography.
