How to Do Burst Shooting on a Canon SD4500
The Canon PowerShot SD4500 IS compact digital camera can shoot up to 8.8 pictures per second. This is helpful when photographing a moving subject, especially people or pets. Being able to take a quick series of pictures helps to capture the best and most natural facial expressions. To maximize the camera's shooting speed, users should enable the high-speed continuous shooting, or "high-speed burst," mode. With this setting, the camera sets the exposure and focus with the first picture and continues to use those settings for subsequent pictures.
