Here's how you can take a quick burst of photos on iPhone

If you're searching for a perfect way to capture a shot of an action scene or an unexpected event on your iPhone, try Burst mode in Apple's stock Camera app.

In Burst mode, the camera on your iPhone captures a series of photos in quick succession, at a rate of ten frames per second.

When you're shooting in Burst mode, notice how the counter increases in the shutter's original position for as long as you hold it down, which indicates how many shots are being captured in the current burst.

Selecting perfect shot

1. Once you're done with shooting in Burst mode, tap the image thumbnail in the Camera app, or open the Photos app and select the Burst you just captured.
2. Tap Burst in the top-left corner, then tap the best shot or shots you want to keep as an individual photo. Grey dots below the thumbnails mark the suggested photos to keep.
3. Tap Done, then choose Keep Everything or Keep only X Favourite (X being the number of shots you selected).
4. When you take a series of burst photos, they automatically appear in the Photos app under the Album name "Bursts." You'll also find them in the Recent Days section.
