Drive Settings of a DSLR Camera

To capture rapidly moving objects, people or animals, you need to use a fast drive setting. Drive settings determine what happens when you press the shutter button on your DSLR camera.

The drive settings discussed in this video tutorial are:

• One-Shot Mode: One tap, one picture. Good for landscapes and similar shots.
• Continuous or Burst Mode: Camera will take photos until the shutter button is released.
• Timed Functions: Adds a delay between pressing the shutter button and taking the photo. Great for including the photographer in shots.
