I was at the National Day Parade First Full Dress Rehearsal today.
The show was generally very dark with subdued light used most of the time.
I found myself trying to take some photos and the camera simply refused to take the shot!
The first case was when the jets were zooming past. I pressed the shuttter and it simply refused to focus lock and take the shot. It happened again during the fireworks display. I had to press many times before 1 shot was finally taken. The rest of the shots taken during the day were ok. My friend who also has a dslr ( "c" brand) had no problem with his. I was set to auto pic mode.
Anyone can advise if I had the wrong setting?
Also, I tried my hands at multiple shots but the time between shots were 2 sec long! How can I make to take shots at rapid rate?
Anyone can help?
Thanks in advance
