Can the camera take continuous photos or just photo " bursts" that have to be saved to camera before you can take next photo?

Yes it can take continuous photos. One picture immediately after the other.

The NEX-5R takes video assuming that is what you mean by continuous photos. And it takes single photos at a rate of so many per second. It takes panoramic pictures by taking single photes in bursts and immediately stitching them together as a single panoramic picture.

YES! It has that button you can put that allows you to take like 5 continuous pictures at a time...this helps for those little guys that like to move! I use it all the time for that!

Yes, it can take still photos, it can also take a photograph on an interval timer, good for time-lapse (software would be needed to create a video from the photos). If you have the remote it can be used as a remote trigger for photos and video recording.

Actually just looking on the boards here I found out the answer. I had it set to Burst Mode in the settings because I was trying out all the features the week before. So even on the IA setting, it would not take photos with flash. I am sure that was somewhere in the manual or it might just be a known photography thing.

Yes, the camera has a built-in automatic flash. It opens up when needed and you can also decide when you use it.

Sometimes in low light it seems to be too long. It depends on the setting and if the lighting is appropriate for the setting you choose. There is a high speed burst feature that lets you take high speed single photos, like a movie only freeze frame that is really fast. Overall, I'd say once you are familiar with the settings and features its pretty quick. It does take some playing with it to get used to all the options.

yes. it is independent from the photo button. 14 or 15 photos can be taken while recording video as well. nice feature.

I have shot 200 pics before I charged the battery before. That is not using the flash. With flash, I don't know.

With this Sony model you cannot take a still photo while shooting video. On some previous models you could. Sony took that feature away on this one - and I was unhappy to find that out (after I bought the camera)

I haven't used it for a while, but I seem to recall that you can set it to upload after each shot automatically or only when you decide. I think I determined that you should NOT have it upload after each shot. I do know for a fact that I have been able to shoot a lot of photos and then transfer the lot later. Also, check that your mobile device is not set to sleep. That would certainly kill the connection. Sorry, I can't be more helpful at the moment.

You will not be able to get any images during the highttime because the camera does not have any type of flash. It is designed to take daytime photos only/

Yes, pushing the button in takes the picture, and if you push in the button and slide it forward, it locks in place and will take consecutive pictures until your camera can't handle it anymore. Works perfect.

Yes, you can take pictures while in "video" mode. You can also preset whether you want a better quality for the video or the photo while performing both actions, which is quite handy.

Yes, it does take still photos. Just press the bottom right button on the Tx when the camera is in standby and not in video mode.

Hello, The SZ1 has three "burst" modes selected from "menu". "H" setting: the camera keeps taking pictures when you press the shutter button until you release it. On "Hi-Speed Burst", the camera takes takes pictures more rapidly as you depress the shutter button. On "Flash Burst", the camera keeps taking pictures but with the flash firing. This is slower than the previous two modes. Of course, there is a "Burst Off" setting. As long as you hold the shutter button down in the burst modes, there is no limit to the amount of shots you can take.

There is a lock function. Not 100% sure if it would be for what you need it for but I can confirm there is a lock function that allows photos to be taken continuously back to back until you take it off

It doesn't specifically do that; once you press the button, the camera (if you have it on Automatic) will adjust focus and then take the photo immediately after!
