Nikon Coolpix 8400 Continuous

[Martin Standley]

Hi

Could anyone give me advice on the continuous settings for the nikon cp8400.
What is the preferred setting?
Can I use remote?

Thanks
Martin

Martin, I set Default as Continuous High which gives a fast 5 frames at full resolution. I find the Low setting to be a bit slow if birds are moving around. I don't use the 5 shot buffer much either , although I would like too, as it uses the slowest frame rate which doesn't work for the sort of action sequences I wanted to capture (eg. ducks wing flapping ). I don't use Remote very often ( only single frame ) so take a Continuous series to get a sharp 3rd or 4th frame. If you want more images in the Continuous series you can reduce the megs down to 5 megs or 3 megs which will allow 12 or more. Neil.

Thanks for that Neil.
I'll give it a try.
