Multi Burst and Sharpness on H5

Hi, first i would like to thank everyone on the STF for their help, i am trying to Kick off the ground and Fly to discover a whole new World .. the H5

Multi Burst mode, what does it do? i read the Manual and didnt understamd the:

"Records 16 frames succession as a still image file", and i took an image and didnt notice anything.

Sharpness Adjustment in Photoshop to my understand means fixing each pixel to look smoother, but on an H5, what does it do? should i keep it Normal?

Thanks guys

It takes a little "stop action" movie. Play it back in the camera and you'll see it sequence through the frames. You can adjust the timing between frames also.

I keep it set to Normal. In-camera sharpening is a lot less aggressive in the H5. In the H1, I had to set it to ( - ). I hate those pesky sharpening halos.

I prefer to sharpen in Photoshop. (The image will look "Sharper" though, not "Smoother")

Multi burst takes 16 low resolution pics and places them into a single 1mp jpeg.

When viewed in camera, the 16 shots are played back like a mini movie but when the jpeg is viewed in an image editor or simply in IE then you see the full photo as a 4x4 grid of small photos.

When would you use Multi Burst Mode? Sports?

When you say "Image viewed in IE" you mean using the browser? am not aware of a way to view pics using my Internet Explorer Browser, i use windoes Picture and fax Viewer most of the time.

Thanks

Sure. Or to analyze a golf swing. It's fun. And it's fun sharing (on the screen with friends). Just keep in mind that it isn't really a "photographic" tool, more of a novelty.

You can use this software to divide the individual images (but they'll be quite low res of course)...

On my computer jpegs are associated with IE -> iexplore.exe

If you want to do the same then, right click the jpeg,click "open with" and select/browse to the program to use, in this case, iexplore.exe

Tick the alway use box to make it permanent.
