I've never bothered to use this function until yesterday. I bought a second-hand cable-release bracket/air release system off a BFW member some time ago and haven't really had the opportunity to use it. So, I set it up and decided to try the burst function. This basically allows you to take shot after shot for as long as the shutter release button is depressed. Using a cable release system this is easy and was a real eye-opener for me. I must have taken over a hundred shots in a minute (I had just caught a PB perch of 3lb 7oz from a Yorkshire river). With the camera clicking away, I got shots of both sides of the fish, some with dorsal fin up, hands in different position etc. So, when I got home I had numerous snaps from which to choose. It works very well when the flash isn't required but depending on the camera I suspect that low light/night shots wouldn't be possible. Give it a try as it reduces the likelihood of being left with a disappointing photo.
