burst mode

Rapid sequential capture

Burst mode is a setting on cameras and other devices that captures multiple images or data points in rapid succession while a button is held down: I switched to burst mode to catch the perfect action shot.

In computing and electronics, it refers to high-speed data transfer that sends information in quick clusters rather than continuously.
