This month: Drive modes
With all manner of drive functions to try out, your camera has untold potential
Traditionally, a camera’s drive function only had one job – to set shooting speed.options: single frame (S) or continuous shooting (C), with some pro models having two continuous options, low and high. With film cameras, continuous shooting could be two or three frames per second (fps). That sounds pedestrian but with only 36 shots available, it was sufficient. Of course, this all changed with digital and even modest DSLRs could rattle along at 6fps and sustain that speed for a few images.
