Abstract
A sequential trigger system (10) for triggering a plurality of cameras (42, 42a) equipped with a burst picture taking mode is provided. The system includes a clock (12) and means (14, 16) of fixing the frequency of the clock frequency, and further includes means (20) of successively starting operation of the cameras in burst mode in response to a trigger signal, the means being controlled by the clock so as to put the cameras into operation at an operating rate faster than the rate at which the cameras take pictures in burst mode.
