Shoot in burst mode

Burst or continuous shooting mode creates rapid image sequences, of which one may be ‘the shot’

1

SET CONTINUOUS HIGH MODE

on canon cameras you can switch to burst mode from within the menus, while on some nikon and other models there is often a position on the shooting mode dial. either way, always select the highest speed burst mode (‘continuous high’).

2

FOCUS YOUR IMAGE

Place your autofocus point over the subject and focus using either the shutter button or back focus button. you can reference live View to zoom in and check sharpness, but it’s advisable on a heavier Dslr to switch back to the viewfinder to shoot.

3

TAKE THE SHOT

hold your breath to reduce body movement and gently depress the shutter release button, holding it down for the duration of the burst. Fire five or six shots to increase your chances of capturing a sharp image, at the moment your camera is still.
