Continuous Mode (Burst Mode)

I'm told my D80 will shoot up to 3 frames per second in burst mode - however, after attending a boxing match as a ringside photographer I was disappointed when I realized that burst mode was not making much of a difference. Is there another setting that I need to adjust? I was in manual mode with my shutter speed at 200 and my F-stop at 4.5. ISO was set to 500.

Thanks for any help or tips!

Hi and welcome...Auto Focus Constant might help...

Why were you disappointed...Were the shots blurry....Missed shots...To noisy...Show us your pic, it will give us something to work with...
 
Thank you for getting back to me

I probably should have specified a bit better
I was fine with the images - though they were a bit under-exposed - but I don't think the camera was actually moving at 3 frames per second. It seemed much slower, barely faster than what I could do by manually clicking the shutter button.

If you want more frames per second get yourself a D300/D300s or a D700...What lens are you using...

If you have a 50mm F1.8 you could set it a little faster
