Sony a6500 long exposure in continuous shooting

I have noticed that when doing long exposures in continuous shooting mode (no matter if in high mid or low) the camera does not require processing compared when in single shooting. It displays the picture instantly and there is no buffer time. I tried it with 5, 10, 30 seconds and the results are the same, no waiting and no processing of the image. I tried it in RAW as well as in JPEG.

Does anyone know why this is? Is there any difference in the picture quality compared to the single shooting mode with processing?

Hi VargSoma,

 

I guess that's normal. There should be no differences in the file structure with the continuous shooting the camera is processing the picture in background at the end of the burst shooting

 

Cheers,

In single shot mode processing takes quite some time when "Long Exposure Noise Reduction" is turned on, that's normal. However, under certain conditions noise reduction is de-activated no matter what you've chosen under "Menu -> Camera Settings1 -> Long Exposure NR" (see here, second bullet behind "Note"). In return that means that there's no Long Exposure NR in continuous mode.
