Continuous Shooting (Fuji Finepix)

My problem is that when looking up the specs, I can't find any information on the most stunningly useful feature*, which is the continuous shooting mode. I had a look at the Olympus X840, which I thought was similar spec but more up to date, but it doesn't seem to have continuous shooting. Maybe it's standard for Fuji Finepix and I am looking dripping out on a reconditioned one, but this detail doesn't seem to be in the spec. Is anyone familiar with which models at that end of the Fuji range have continuous shooting? Thanks. *Essential when you are trying to get your shot through a gap in traffic or when the flag stops blowing in front of the speaker at a rally etc etc. The response time is horribly slow with a cheap digital, so continuous shooting is the only hope, and then delete all but one shot. According to: http://www.jessops.com/Products/Prod...px?SkuId=73693 the Olympus X840 has "burst mode". That is continuous shooting in the sense that it will continue to take images as long as you hold down the shutter release. Not truly continuous, but I think this is what you had on the Fuji. Here's some more information on continuous/burst mode shooting. http://www.digicamhelp.com/camera-fe...burst-mode.php -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |

Here's some more information on continuous/burst mode shooting.http://www.digicamhelp.com/camera-fe...burst-mode.php When I tried out an Olympus X840 (because it was what I was thinking of getting), I couldn't make it do burst mode. I held down the shutter for a long time, but only one frame was stored. I tried it in various combinations and found that it would only take one shot per shutter press, had a very slow response time and a long delay before it would save a second picture. I decided it wasn't for me. After what you said, I noticed that on the Web it appears in the spec (eg on the Jessops site) as having burst mode, so I thought I must be going mad and downloaded both the basic and advanced manuals from the Olympus site. There is no mention of burst mode anywhere in either the basic manual or the advanced manual. I must be missing something ... My Sony W300 has a burst mode, you select it in the recording menu, just tried it out, works well shot over twenty continuous shots, tends to slow down as you progress, though. |
