And most of the official reviews of smartphones with such a function consisted in mandatory references on how many frames in a second makes this or that device. And today, without serial shooting it is difficult to imagine a good smartphone with a high-quality camera.

Yes, and the "authenticity" of such pictures will be desired better. Whether the case is shooting people engaged in everyday affairs
