The Nikon D60 camera default setting is for single shots. If you have a quick finger, you can take several shots rapidly, but for best results, use the D60's continuous or burst shutter release mode. This can fire up to three frames per second each time you press the shutter button. Knowing how to quickly set the camera for continuous shooting will give you the ability to capture fast action, which is particularly helpful when photographing sports or wildlife. This mode is also helpful for group portraits when it can be difficult to get everybody to hold still and keep their eyes open
