Here's Burst Camera in action:
The interface is simple enough, tap the camera icon (or use the phone's shutter button) to fire off a burst sequence. The top icon brings up the main burst settings, shown below, the bottom one, the more general settings (see the bottom of this article).
I tested 30 photos per second on the 808 and it worked perfectly, with each at 1080p, i.e. 2 megapixels. Unless you're capturing something ultra-fast though, you're better off at 10 photos per second and a couple of seconds duration for the sequence. After all, the more snaps you take, the harder the task of picking a winner or two later and the more RAM will be taken up.
Having taken a burst sequence, there's a 10 second (or so) pause while the images are sorted out and thumbnails prepared...
Just pick the 2 megapixel images you want to save and you're done. The new photos appear in your Gallery as usual.
Here's a 2mp sample image from Burst Camera. Download it or enlarge it if you want to check quality...
In the more general settings, you can change where photos are eventually saved...
... plus you can adjust the resolution offered (though it would be nice to see some actual numbers in this dialog, Harald - what's the point of a 'Quality' dialog like this? Surely everyone's simply going to leave it at 10?) and whether the flash is fired.
I was testing Burst Camera on the Nokia 808 and the app fully supports the faster camera GPU and the PureView lossless zoom, but do note that the overall resolution of final images and (obviously) zoom will be a lot less capable on the typical Symbian^3 EDoF camera.
I did experience several glitches where the viewfinder was totally black and I had to restart the application to carry on. Users of Harald's apps will be used to quirks early on, mind you - there will be updates aplenty...
You can buy Burst Camera for £1.50 here in the Nokia Store. Comments welcome - is this something you'd use?
