Once the buffer is full, you will have to wait for it to empty before you
can continue taking pictures. Cameras with continuous or burst mode are capable of
capturing three to nine images per second, depending on the camera manufacturer
and model.
??? Make sure your camera is not in standby mode when the action is fast and furious,
as it may take your camera a second or two to wake up when you press the shutter
button.
Pan the Camera
If you shoot with a high-enough shutter speed, you can freeze action. However,
there are times when you need to track a subject before taking the picture. For
example, if you??™re photographing a bird in flight, you synchronize the motion of
the camera with that of the bird in flight and then snap the picture at the desired
moment, as shown in Figure 5-2.
1. Switch to continuous focus mode, if your camera is equipped with this feature. If not,
switch your camera to landscape or infinity mode.
2. Plant your feet firmly, align the moving subject in your viewfinder, and zoom in to the
desired degree of magnification.
3. Press the shutter button halfway to establish focus.
4. As the subject moves toward you, twist your torso so that your moving subject remains
centered in your viewfinder.
