"Photo laureates advises you to use the burst mode when shooting action. Many cameras have a burst mode that takes several shots quickly. Set the camera to this mode when you don't want to miss an anticipated action. You can also use it if you want a choice of pictures or want to show a sequence. Beware that choosing this mode usually lowers the picture resolution. So you won't be able to make big enlargements, but you should be able to make snapshot-size prints and quality photography composition."
