Turning off Burst Mode in iPhone 6 Camera

Hi My Mom Also has this issue. My Mom Took 99 burst photos and keeps getting warnings from iCloud that she will exceed her iCloud limit. I know that Mom is not doing this intentionally. When you take a pix of your granddaughter you are in the moment and keep your finger on the "shutter".

I Have the same issue. There should be a way to turn off the **** burst mode. Taking 999 pics and the Filtering for the right one is A long sucky process.

I agree. Apple should include a setting to turn burst mode off/on. Current setup is too sensitive to the touch and often results in unwanted pix. [I've been shooting semi-pro for decades.]

My sister has special needs and bought an iPad Air to take pictures with because of the big clear screen. She's not able to use a viewfinder and the viewing screen on compact cameras are too small. However, she is finding the iPad camera app extremely challenging and frustrating because of the burst mode feature as she finds it difficult to judge just how long to touch the screen for to get a shot and usually gets over 20 pics. I then have to go through dozens of bursts to select a single photo from each burst for her. If burst mode could be disabled she would be able to use it easily and, importantly for her, independently.

If anyone knows an alternative camera app for people with special needs please let me know.

You can turn off Burst in Camera settings, by I do not see the off switch in my Settings. I have IOS 8, iphone 6

its not there to turn off Bursts.

Any help?

In Camera, There is a timer option at the top, it looks like a tiny clock. That allows you to wait 3 or 10 seconds to shoot a photo. That has to be turned off, and you can snap one pic at a time. At least on my phone.

Hi

I've only just bought my first smartphone, an iPhone 6s, and the burst mode was the ONE thing annoying me too.

instead of using the on screen button to shoot - use either one of the volume switches as a shutter release!

Works perfectly, one shot per press.

Actually I found that the bursts happen on the volume buttons too, AckKKK@!

I cant believe that there is not a way to disable burst photos. My 80 year old mother is about to go over her iCloud limit because of the massive number of burst photos she has taken.

You CAN turn off burst upload

Could you describe HOW you turn off burst mode, rather than just telling us you CAN?

Settings>Photo & Camera, turn off "Upload Burst Photos"

There are a few good settings in there. Hope this helps.

sorry, yes you are right. easier to one click though - not so much of a hair trigger

??????? This is no such option to turn off Upload Burst Photos in Settings>Photos & Camera

We are trying to figure out how to prevent burst mode happening in the first instance not

letting burst mode happen and then prevent acres of unwanted pix from being uploaded
