hi owners, need a quick review, especially if you're taking baby pics:
for continuous shooting like a dslr is it possible? or if i press the shutter continuously, how many frames per second will it capture before it stops for processing?

I dont mind shooting in jpeg for ths as quality is secondaryy, but i'm not willing to go to 3mp for the 10fps burst mode.

is it possible for this camera to shoot at 2fps for 5 sec continuously (focus fixed)?

if not how much time in between do i have to wait?

My baby moves a lot especially the smiles, probably he smiles only 0.5s per 10s so i have to really shoot continuously and hope for the best.

appreciate your helps

hi lee82gx, the lx5 can perform burst mode@continuous shooting~  thumbup.gif
u just go to scene mode > page 2 > burst mode ~
then u can choose image or speed priority~
then u just press the shutter button and it'll capture the pics until u release the shutter button~
and dont worry, it capture very fast haha~  tongue.gif

hi littleprawn,

thanks for the reply, can you elaborate:
for burst mode is it at full 10mp resolution or will it need to be reduced? Can it really be held down for 5 seconds straights?

I read from the spec:
QUOTE
Full-resolution Image, 2.5 frames / sec
Max. 5 images (Standard Mode), Max. 3 images (Fine Mode)
High speed Burst Mode: Approx. 10 frames / sec (Speed Priority), Approx. 6 frames / sec (Image Priority)
(recorded in 3M for 4:3, 2.5M for 3:2, 2M for 16:9, 2.5M for 1:1)

Approx. 15 - 100 shots.
* Maximum is 100 shots.
・ The number of consecutive shots is limited by the shooting conditions, card type, and card condition.
・ The number of consecutive shots may increase immediately after the card is formatted.

lee82gx,

if at burst mode the mp will be reduced to :-
*3M for 4:3  *2.5M for 3:2  *2M for 16:9  *2.5M for 1:1
as stated by you~

i held down my shutter button and it can take for approx. 4-5sec (3M for 4:3) under scene-burst mode

i try shutter mode at 9M for 3:2 and it can take Max. 5 images (Standard Mode)and Max. 3 images (Fine Mode)

hope u understand my lousy explanation~  tongue.gif

Man, now i gotta go delete all those pics~  doh.gif

thanks bro, it really clear up the confusion...but it also prevents me buying this lovely cam!
