SD1000 Multi-Burst Feature???

[patmel24]

Can't seem to find it and really want it for the golf swing analysis. In Sony (ex.DSC-T5) they call it Multi-Burst and it takes 16 frames in one picture! It's a great feature but I can't locate it.

Is anyone familar with this feature and does this Canon SD1000 have it?

I really appreciate help. Thanks!

The SD1000 can be set to Continuous Shooting. The result is a burst of several separate images. (See page 36 of the advanced user guide)

Shooting small images like M3 (1600x1200 pixels) or S (640x480 pixels) may shorten the elapsed time from picture to picture.

You can also record a movie and analyze it later frame by frame with computer software.

Thank you I found what you are referring (page 36) to BUT from which setting: camera or movie? When I click the bottom wheel with the pic of the several pictures, it goes into the Self-Timing Menu. It seems I've tried all setting, all arrows and I still can't get it. I didn't think I was such a dummy with cameras before this situation. I need/want it really want this feature badly and am so frustrated. Is there anything step-by-step you can tell me to help me out in this regard? I really do appreciate it. Thanks again, Pat

I have "searched" the word "multi-burst", "continuous", SD1000, etc., to no avail. If this subject has been discussed on another thread, please do refer me there.

You people are so nice and I hate for you to think that I haven't searched long and hard and am just looking for a quick answer. I am not, I am very interested in all about the Canon SD1000 (at present) and others and I really do enjoy the threads, photos, etc. Glad I found ya!

Hi patmel24

Continuous shooting is available only in manual (M) mode. Set the camera to M and press the button once, you will go into continuous shooting, if you press it again, you will go to self-timer.

While in M, the button cycles through normal-continuous-selftimer.

It is hard for me to list a step by step procedure because I do not own the camera, just the manual in .pdf format :(

WOW, thank you!!! I didn't know it had to be set at MANUAL MODE, even after reading the User Guide several times. Thank you so much, I do appreciate it.

That's IS a great feature BUT, it still however doesn't give me what I want. That'll give me several pictures of moving objects, just fine, but I do like the option that all 16 (for instance) frames are all on one photograph. Nothing available to do exactly what I want? Don't tell me I will still have to keep this Sony DSC-T5 in my golf bag, just for that feature? Boo-hooo, I really don't want two cameras becasue you probably know the Sony doesn't hold a candle to the Canon's other great features, ESPECIALLY low-lighted shots which take place in the 19th Hole, chuckle, chuckle.

Thanks again and I think it's so cool that I am chatting with someone from Ecuador! Thanks rpolitsr
