On my experia z3 when I use the burst shot feature all 60 pics are saved to my cloud even though I only pic the one I wana keep. Why? Only just noticed this. It will take me forever to delete them all.

Can you not change the settings to keep the burst in local storage?? On my Red Rice, I set it to store them on the SD card (upto 60 frames per second with flash on!!); and yes, it saves every photo. LOTS to delete now my 3 y/o has figured out how to access the camera (but not yet the full phone).

So there's no way of only saving the picture you want and deleting the others? When I come to delete all 60 how do I know I'm not deleting the one I wanted to keep?

The fast burst camera on my Red Rice is a 3rd party app called "Fast Burst", I found a link to it on a MIUI forum some months ago. Sadly, due to my SSD dying earlier this week, I lost that link; you could try looking through the app store.

 

It DOES allow whole burst deletion.

It's a quirk of Google photos sync.

You can delete a pic offline, but it's already tagged to sync as soon as you go online.
