1. A digital camera having a burst image capture mode, comprising:

  • an image sensor for capturing a digital image;

    an optical system for forming an image of a scene onto the image sensor;

    a data processing system;

    an image memory for storing captured digital images; and

    a program memory communicatively connected to the data processing system and storing instructions configured to cause the data processing system to implement a method for capturing a sequence of digital images in the burst image capture mode, wherein the instructions include;

    capturing a sequence of digital images of the scene using the image sensor, each digital image being captured at a different time;

    identifying a moving object in the captured digital images;

    automatically determining the position of the moving object in each of the captured digital images;

    automatically selecting a subset of the captured digital images where the moving object has positions that most nearly correspond to a set of desirable positions; and

    storing the selected subset of captured digital images in the image memory.
