Nice! How many frames did that take?
So you're saying that turning off the review will speed it up? If so that's good to know. I only shoot panoramas in M mode anyway, to get the same exposure across the scene.
Can it go any faster if you just pump the shutter button about once every 1-2 seconds in continuous drive mode, compared to single-shot?
I sure wish I had access to one of these to play around with it and see how it "feels". The local price had plummeted so they're now only about a hundred bucks more than a G15 which seems like a steal...
Thanks!
Scott
Scott,
To answer your question regarding continuous mode, yes, it is faster. I just tried my G1 X in all manual mode with a Transcend class 10 card. It's not the world's fastest card, but not slow either. I consistently get 9 shots in 15 seconds. I wasn't doing any framing. I was simply letting off the shutter button and immediately pressing it again so it would shoot as soon as it could. Time after time, I got the 9 shots in 15 seconds.
Shooting in single frame mode takes much longer. I only get 5.x shots in that same 15 seconds.
Steve
Thank you - that's exactly what I wanted to know!
Regards,
Scott
