Hello everyone,
I try to use the digital camera control to take pictures with regularity. I have tried a code (below) and I have found out that the photos are taken on average at 1.54s. I have a Nikon D850. I have tried to change the drive_mode but the results have been identicals.
How can I increase the fps of my camera ?
Thank you and have a good day
sincerely,
Alex
