With the advancements in camera technology, the iPhone has become a popular choice among photography enthusiasts. One of the features that sets it apart is the Burst Mode, which allows you to capture a series of photos in rapid succession. While this can be useful in certain situations, it can also fill up your camera roll with multiple similar images. If you find yourself constantly dealing with the frustration of deleting unwanted burst mode photos, you’ll be glad to know that it’s possible to turn off this feature on your iPhone camera.
To turn off burst mode on your iPhone camera, follow these simple steps. First, open the Camera app on your iPhone. Once the app is open, you’ll see the different camera modes at the bottom of the screen. Swipe left until you come across the “Photo” mode. Tap on it to select the photo mode as your default camera setting.
After selecting the photo mode, you’ll notice that the burst mode icon, which looks like a target with several concentric circles, disappears from the top of the screen. This indicates that burst mode has been turned off. Now, when you take photos using your iPhone camera, it will only capture single shots, allowing you to save storage space and avoid the hassle of deleting multiple photos later.
It’s important to note that turning off burst mode doesn’t mean you can’t take burst photos anymore. If there’s a specific moment or action that you want to capture in a series of images, you can still enable burst mode temporarily by pressing and holding the shutter button. This is useful for fast-paced events or situations where you want to make sure you don’t miss a single shot. Once you release the shutter button, burst mode will be turned off again.
By turning off burst mode on your iPhone camera, you can have more control over your photography and avoid the clutter of unnecessary burst photos. Whether you’re a casual photographer or a professional, this simple tip will help you streamline your camera roll and ensure that every photo you take is intentional and meaningful.
How to Disable Burst Mode on iPhone Camera
If you find yourself constantly capturing multiple photos in quick succession whenever you press the shutter button on your iPhone camera, it is likely that the Burst Mode is enabled. Burst Mode allows you to take a series of photos in rapid succession by pressing and holding the shutter button or using the volume up button. This feature can be useful in certain situations, such as capturing action shots or ensuring you get the perfect shot, but it can also fill up your storage quickly. If you prefer not to use Burst Mode, you can easily disable it.
Method 1: Disabling Burst Mode from Camera Settings
Follow these steps to disable Burst Mode from the camera settings:
- Open the “Settings” app on your iPhone.
- Scroll down and tap on “Camera”.
- Under the “Composition” section, you will find an option called “Preserve Settings”. Tap on it.

This will disable Burst Mode for all future camera sessions.
Method 2: Disabling Burst Mode during a Camera Session
If you want to disable Burst Mode temporarily while taking photos, you can do so by following these steps:
