Yeah, Russ did a good job there. But I'd note that Russ picked a nearly perfect subject for this feature - something that moves in an interesting way, but stays more or less in the same place.

Well, I'm not sure what's going on with shutter speed. Obviously it can't be slower than 1/21th sec because the camera's taking 21 shots a second (or whatever it is). So if you needed a 1/20th sec exposure, well, I'm guessing that would get shortened automatically. But if a 1/500th sec shutter is adequate, I'm not sure whether the feature is giving you that (21 times a second) or not. I will say that, in my test shots, exposure seemed to be decent.
Quote: since the k20D is shooting at 21fps, how do we even set the shutter speed? is the shutter speed pre-determined by the camera?
You set shutter speed normally. The only thing that's different if you use this feature is that the mirror stays up - and the sensor exposed - as long as you hold down the shutter button. This option is chosen in the Fn menu. There are, in the K20D, two completely different TYPES of continuous mode shooting. First you have the older type, where the camera takes a normal shot with the exposure settings you requested and keeps doing so until the buffer is full, at a rate of 3 fps or so. The K20D calls this "continuous shooting." Then there's this new type, which the K20D calls "burst shooting". I keep the camera in the first, older type pretty much all the time, because if you simply depress the shutter and release it immediately, you'll never get two shots by accident. But with the newer type, you would NOT want to stay in that mode, because it's almost impossible not to get at least two or three shots no matter how fast you release the shutter.
