Burst mode with using timer

You didn’t answer the question. The question is how to turn burst mode off not get around it or use it.

I want burst mode turned off permanently. Never to return again! As a photographer, I find it extremely annoying and paternalistic for Apple to insist that I have to use this Utter nonsense when I didn’t ask for i, and don’t want it for… pretty much anything. It’s useless to me. I want it gone!

The issue here is to stop the unwanted burst on timer photos.

I agree. Apple, please tell me an easy way to turn off, burst mode in every single setting, ever, so I do not have to turn it off every time I choose my timer or I turn live off. I lose time in opportune moments, as a performer, I have to get, self portraits on the fly, without delaying my cast. Sometimes there’s just a three minute window to get the perfect self timer shot.

It seems that you know the answer based on what you have written (there is no setting to turn it off which you acknowledge knowing). Ultimately you need to submit feedback since you are asking Apple to change the way it currently is. Posting on here unfortunately does not reach the powers that be at Apple. Submit feedback at the following link.

Feedback - iPhone - Apple

This of course does not guarantee that what you are asking for will happen. But it would be viewed by the appropriate people at Apple and if enough customers submit the same type feedback it is more likely to be considered.

Timing a photo does not necessarily mean burst of 10 Photos.

Capture action shots with Burst mode on your iPhone camera

• Use Burst mode with Camera  to capture a moving subject, or when you want to take multiple high-speed photos so that you have a range of photos to choose from. You can take Burst photos with the rear and front-facing cameras.

1. Open Camera  on your iPhone.
2. Swipe the Shutter button to the left.
3. Lift your finger to stop.
4. To select the photos you want to keep, tap the Burst thumbnail, then tap Select.
5. Gray dots below the thumbnails mark the suggested photos to keep.
6. Tap the circle in the lower-right corner of each photo you want to save as an individual photo, then tap Done.

• To delete the entire Burst, tap the thumbnail, then tap .
• Tip: You can also press and hold the volume up button to take Burst shots. Go to Settings  > Camera, then turn on Use Volume Up for Burst.

I figured out burst mode won’t come on if I have the camera setting on live. I can use the timer and take one picture at a time.

I don’t understand why Apple has to force users to use features that users are not interested in. I’m amazed to learn that use of timer without bursting is impossible in the world’s most popular phone which is now branded as DSLR killer. Another annoying use of force is when you can’t disable the camera icon from lock screen which means anyone who get a hand on your phone can use camera app and record photos and videos without the need of authentication. The only way to avoid this is removing the camera app itself. Apple says keep it in the Lock Screen or you don’t have it. Sounds bossy. Right?

Why would you want this?

Using burst mode in connection with a timer might be useful for taking group photos, especially those where you have the phone on a tripod and want to get in the picture yourself. Some people blink when having their picture taken, and if the phone takes a burst of 10 photos, there might be some in which a person's eyes weren't closed.

The only way around it is to use the flash. When that is "on" it only takes one picture (thanks Patricia666).

Odd. I would think flash photos would be the ones where people would be most likely to close their eyes - where having a burst of photos would be most useful.
