Among the many improvements Apple has made to the iPhone 5s is its redesigned rear camera. It seems like everything on the iSight shooter has been updated, from hardware to softwareâ€"which includes new slow motion video and continuous burst modes.
And as it turns out, folks with the just-released Golden Master version of iOS 7 can play with the latter feature right now. Simply open up your Camera app, and when you go to take a photo, hold your finger down on the shutter to take continuous, rapid shots…
The feature being in iOS 7 GM is notable for two reasons. For one, as we said above, it gives you the chance to play with the new continuous burst mode early. And two, Apple never mentioned whether or not it would work with devices other than the iPhone 5s.
We can confirm that the new burst mode works with at least the iPhone 5, running iOS 7 GM, and assume that unless there are big hardware limitations, that it works with the iPhone 4s as well. Keep in mind there are several ‘burst mode’ apps in the App Store.
It’s also worth noting, though, that the feature does not offer what Apple calls a “real time analysis†of your photos. That’s where your phone looks at all of the photos you’ve taken and suggests individual shots or a sequence of photos that you might like best.
At any rate, it’ll be interesting to see if Apple decides to keep this around for other devices in the public build of iOS 7, or makes it exclusive to the iPhone 5s. We combed through both iPhone 5c and iOS 7 marketing stuff, and didn’t see the feature mentioned once.
Do you have iOS 7 GM on your iPhone? Does Continuous burst mode work for you?
