Olympus OM-D set to 1\/4000th of a second and fired at 9 frames per second since the bubbles form nicely only on first impact. If your camera can machine-gun at those speeds or faster, I suggest you use &#8220;spray and pray&#8221; techniques sparingly. Why? Just like a car, the shutter mechanism has a rated lifespan. Usually averaging 150,000 shots for the average camera. Some less, some more. It should still work after exceeding the rating but why create wear and tear unnecessarily?<\/p>\n<p>Remember this: Every happy, reckless burst and your camera will die earlier. Replacing the shutter assembly can cost as much as buying a new camera. Don&#8217;t forget that many cameras also record the shutter count (actuations) and a prospective buyer may check the mileage. Save it for a rainy day or unless it is your company&#8217;s camera or part of your business expense as a professional photographer. You don&#8217;t want to be trigger happy with your hard earned money.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/bubbles.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3386\" title=\"Spray And Pray\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/bubbles.jpg\" alt=\"Spray And Pray\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/bubbles.jpg 1080w, http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/bubbles-113x113.jpg 113w, http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/bubbles-169x169.jpg 169w, http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/bubbles-450x450.jpg 450w, http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/bubbles-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every happy, reckless burst and your camera will die earlier&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/spray-and-pray\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563,519,9,12],"tags":[826,827,828,681,114,511,680],"class_list":["post-3385","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-instagram","category-omd","category-photography","category-tech","tag-bubbles","tag-burst-shooting","tag-fps","tag-high-speed","tag-olympus","tag-om-d","tag-water"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3385"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3385\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3389,"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3385\/revisions\/3389"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
