Burst mode, also called continuous shooting mode, sports mode, continuous mode, or burst shot, is a shooting mode in

motion, such as sports photography
. The photographer can then select the best image of the group or arrange them in a sequence to study the transitions in detail.

Details

The speed at which successive photographs can be captured depends on several factors, but mainly on the processing power of the camera.

digital SLR cameras will continue to actuate the shutter for as long as the button is held down, until the memory card fills or the battery runs out, although the rate of capture may significantly slow when the camera's data buffer
becomes full.

Burst rate

Frames per second
(FPS) tells the rate at which a camera is taking photos. Burst rate tells how many frames can be taken in quick succession, before the frame rate slows down.

Use

Video created from 20 photographs taken from a mobile phone camera in burst mode.

Cameras capable of high continuous shooting rates are much desired when the subjects are in motion, as in

mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera has the world's fastest burst mode of 20fps Auto Focus tracking and 60fps at the first shot autofocus, both in 18.4MP full resolution. The claim is among digital cameras with interchangeable lenses (including (its) DSLR).[3]
