Is there a delay when you take a shot?
Hi there,
I've been told that when you shot a digital camera there's a delay between the push action and the camera to take the picture. Is that true? Cheers. |

Digital SLRs and some viewfinder/p&s models (Kyocera springs to mind) have nearly instantaneous shutter responses, others seem glacial by comparison. -- Skip Middleton http://www.shadowcatcherimagery.com |

It is true for any camera, not just digital. There can be more delay in some digital cameras, particularly the older non-DLSR models. In many cameras, the problem can be alleviated by pressing the shuuter release half-way to measure focus and exposure, and then pressing all the way to take the actual picture at the critical moment.

Try to find the specs. for the camera in question. The "click to capture
delay" is what your interested in. I have a DX-6490 from Kodak...and on the website, it's specified as .65 sec. but i would say that mine is faster than that... .2~.3 sec... -- Alain(alias:Kilowatt) Montréal Québec PS: 1000 excuses for errors or omissions, i'm a "pure" french canadian! :-) Come to visit me at: http://kilowatt.camarades.com (If replying also by e-mail, remove "no spam" from the adress.) |

As an additional comment... a friend bought a Pentax optio 430rs and this
delay was a long 1.5 second! This delay seems to be minimized as digicam technology evolve. |

Cheers. *My* camera doesn't, but then I specifically shopped for one that didn't- I understand pretty much all compacts do, although some brands (IIRC Ricoh, Kyocera) advertise models with very little delay. If I switch off autofocus, my Olympus E10 (discontinued) has virtually no delay at all. -- Martin Francis http://www.sixbysix.co.uk "Go not to Usenet for counsel, for it will say both no, and yes, and no, and yes...." |

I think that it's called shutter lag--"the delay from pressing the shutter
button until a picture is actually captured (steves-digicams.com)". That was one of my main concerns when I owned a Canon G2. The shutter lag on that one was sometimes too long ranging from 2 seconds all the way to even 8 seconds!!! My experience with the new-generation compact cameras such as Canon S500 and Sony DSC-P100 has been absolutely different! These two cameras (along with many others out there) have shutter lags way under one seconds (some close to 1/10 of a second). I can go on and on about this, but a great place to start doing research and learning more about different features of digital cameras is www.steves-digicams.com. That's where I go every time I am buying a new digicam. It has never let me down. Of course, I always spend some time here in this newsgroup first. Peace. "Nusat" wrote in message ...

Hang on a second.......
Yes, on most compacts. "Nusat" wrote in message ... Hi there, I've been told that when you shot a digital camera there's a delay between the push action and the camera to take the picture. Is that true? Cheers. |

My DSLR Digital Rebel is fast enough that I don't have to worry about it. My A70 P&S is pretty slow, though, which is kind of a drag since I bought it to carry in my pocket to shoot action shots while mtn biking.
