Setting Up Your Camera for Continuous Shooting and Autofocus
One of the biggest challenges you will face when capturing fast-moving subjects is getting that one perfect frame when the subject is in focus and positioned exactly where you want them. With a few changes to the camera settings on your 6D, you can overcome these challenges. Let’s now talk about drive modes and AF (autofocus) modes.Drive Modes
The drive mode dictates how fast each photo is taken and how many photos are captured with each press of the shutter release button. The drive modes available on your camera are the following:- Single shooting: With this setting, you will take only one photograph.
- Continuous shooting: When you press and hold the shutter button, photographs will be taken at a speed of 4.5 shots per second.
- Silent single shooting: With this setting, the sound made when you press the shutter release button will be minimal.
- Silent continuous shooting: If you want to shoot a series of images rapidly but also keep the noise of your shutter down, use this setting.
- 10-sec. self-timer/Remote control: Self-timer mode. The camera delays 10 seconds from the time you press the shutter release button to the time that a photograph is taken.
- 2-sec. self-timer/Remote control: Self-timer mode. The camera delays 2 seconds from the time you press the shutter release button to the time that a photograph is taken.
The size of the memory buffer on your camera, the image format (JPEG or RAW), and the speed of your memory card limit how many seconds you can use the Continuous shooting mode. The digital image files on your 6D are constantly being written to the memory card as you take photos. But when you take multiple images in a row, the camera stores these digital images inside the memory buffer on the camera itself until it can write the images to your memory card. The speed at which this data is processed and written to your card depends on the speed.
