Picture continuous shooting method and device

The invention discloses a picture continuous shooting method. According to the method, when a picture continuous shooting instruction is received, a picture is shot every a preset time interval, and the first shot picture serves as a reference picture; when pictures except the reference picture are shot, moving vectors of the pictures shot at the present are obtained; based on the moving vectors, the pictures shot at the present are compared with the reference picture so that the residual values between pixel points in the pictures shot at the present and pixel points in the reference picture can be determined; after picture continuous shooting is completed, the residual values of the pictures, the pixel points, corresponding to the residual values, of the reference picture and the reference picture are packaged to generate a continuous shot picture set, and then the continuous shot picture set is stored. The invention further discloses a picture continuous shooting device. The quantity of stored data is reduced, and the storage space of a terminal is saved.
