Having difficulty taking photos of moving subjects such as children, pets, sports etc? Burst Mode on iPhone might be your answer. You can select the photo/s you want to keep from the burst of photos. On iPhones 10 and above have a new way of taking burst of photos. It’s not very intuitive as on older phones.

Burst Mode refers to when the camera on your iPhone captures a series of photos in rapid succession, at a rate of ten frames per second. It's a great way to shoot an action scene or an unexpected event, since you're always more likely to end up with the picture you were aiming for.

Apple has changed the way Burst Mode works in its redesigned Camera app for iPhone 10 models and above (11, 12, 13) and ‌iPhone Pro devices.

On older iPhones and on iPads, you simply tap and hold the shutter button at the bottom of the Camera interface for the duration of the scene that you're trying to capture.

However, on the ‌iPhone 11‌ series you have to press the shutter button and drag it towards the square displaying the last image you shot. The shutter will stretch elastically under your finger as you do.

Notice that the counter increases in the shutter's original position for as long as you hold it down. This indicates how many shots are being captured in the current burst. Simply take your finger off the shutter when you want to end the burst of shots.

My entry in the ‘Near and Far’ competition in a photography group I’m in.

It was taken in Sydney Bus Museum. I asked one of the mechanics to pose for me in front of one of the buses he maintains.
