Hey.. I'm new to photography and just picked up a starter camera (Rebel XT). I was wondering how to use the burst feature. Canon claims 3 f/s and up to 14 frame bursts. I was wondering how to use that feature... I couldnt find it in the instruction book.

Thanks,
Brian

It's best if you shoot with JPEG to get the complete 14 frames... a nice bright day would also help. Find your subject, compose your shot, and just stay on the button...

just to the right of the top screen there is two buttons, the AV +- button and one below that, the lower button is the one you wanna hit to cycle through single frame shots, burst shots, and the auto timer feature

Might want to visit this web site. It has all kinds of good info to get you started and much simpler than the manual. Anyway, pick a feature, go work it for a while, then read the manual to get the nuances before moving to the next feature.

Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

There is a little button on the back of the camera. Heres a pic. You press the circled button to cycle through the different shooting modes. The smaller circle in my pic is where you can see which mode you are in. Hope this helps.
