As in I made it faster. Often is because at night I am shooting at too slow a shutter speed and I'm going to pick out one which is mysteriously sharper than the other two. I find if I shoot three there's always one which is amazingly sharp and totally usable. With others being total wash outs. If I'm shooting more then a group of people I'll do it just because things are moving fast and I want everyone's eyes open... At the same time. Including mine. If there was a squirrel. and it grabbed my empty foam lens pouch and started running down the sidewalk and up and over a fence.... I'd shoot a burst. Evidence for a Grand Jury!
