How to take continuous photos on iPhone

If you are looking for a way to capture an action scene or a sudden event on your iPhone, then Burst mode in the Camera app is a must. In Burst mode, the iPhone camera takes a series of photos in rapid succession at a rate of ten frames per second. By taking multiple photos in rapid succession, you can choose the best frame where the subject's movement is perfectly captured. Here's how to take burst photos on your iPhone.

Instructions for taking continuous photos on iPhone

Step 1:

Open the camera app on your iPhone, then press and hold the shutter dot and drag it to the left to switch to Burst mode. Continue holding your finger to take continuous photos.

Lift your finger to end the animation capture. The screen also displays the number of photos taken in the circle in the center of the screen.

Step 2:

Go back to your gallery and tap on a burst, tap Burst in the upper left corner, then tap the best photo or photos you want to keep as separate photos. The gray dots below the thumbnails mark the photos that are recommended to be kept.

Finally click Done to save the photo.

When you take a burst of photos, they automatically appear in the Photos app and are placed in a separate Album Bursts album for easy searching.
