What is the shutter lag time? After you push the shutter, how long before the click of the actual shot?

a second or two. don't know why. I would much rather have it go immediately when I push the button.

Shutter lag when prefocused = less than 1/10 of a secondShutter lag with autofocus = about 0.6 secondsShot to shot delay without flash = 4.7 seconds between frames with minimum review time On, 4.2 seconds with review OffShot to shot delay with flash = 7.8 seconds between frames with minimum review time On, 7.3 seconds with review Off

It's only about 2 seconds. This camera has been real good for me, once I got down the menu.

It depends on what you are used to. I primarily shoot with a DSLR, and thus I definitely notice a lag. It isn't terrible, but you can't do burst shooting, so this issue tends to be less in the delay to shoot, but the processing delay after you shoot. it also depends a lot on the mode. Modes such as HDR, museum, etc can take quite some time as the shot is processed. E.g., I just took 500 photos of hummingbirds with my DSLR -- i would never do that with the Nikon. But, I don't like taking my DSLR near the waves, and with the Nikon you can take it anywhere.

There is no lag time on the shutter. It only takes a second to be ready for the next shot. Tough, compact, and great camera. Battery lasts through more than 200 photos. I have two and it is easy to load the new battery and keep on shooting. The battery charges in about an hour. I also have a car charger.

Rebecca, I am not a camera person; therefore, shutter speed/lag time is beyond my knowledge. However, what I do know as a novice is that it is easy to use and takes "great" pictures. I am very happy with the camera, I have had it for over ten years, and had no problems with the operation of the camera.

It sounds like you have your shutter set to a 10-second delay. Typically this setting is used when the photographer wants to be in the picture. Press the button to the left of the SET button and choose the single-shot or continuous option. Then the camera will take the picture as soon as you press the shutter.

There is lag time..also after taking the picture you should not move the camera quickly..image will blur..

I have one and I've recently reviewed the manual. I recall there being a 10 second delay (to get in the picture), and a 2 second delay (for stabilization). The manual is downloadable from Kodak's website.

There is a long wait period between fully depressing the shutter button (this is after focusing with a half press) and capture. By the time the picture is taken the moment is well over. I have a Canon G3 - it does not have a similar issue, however Canon's support is unwilling to acknowledge that there is a problem. Locking the exposure prior to the shot fixes the problem, but then you have to do this for each shot and it means another flash.

Shutter lag is ok..it's just the time it takes for for the camera reset to take the next photo that I am not happy with...I guess I should not have such high expectations for a $149 camera..

Mine is about 3 seconds unless I hold but don't push the button then I control when it takes it and there is no lag.... Very good STARTER camera....

Any point and shoot camera will have delay.... how much are you willing to tolerate? There may be statistics about the length of delay with this very camera at some other more technical rating sites, but you can assume there will be some, and that it can be minimized by prefocusing with a halfway shutter depress, and/or using sports mode. That always helped on my older Canon model.

You can set the 10 sec timer. You press the button to take a picture and you have 10 seconds before the camera takes a picture. You just have to push a few buttons to change this setting beforehand.

Can someone help me to reduce the delay or shutter lag between when I press the button and when the picture actually takes? I have a one and a two year old and they only smile at me for a second and I can't seem to snap in time. Thanks

This is indeed a common problem with digital compact cameras but with this one I don't notice any delay. Maybe because I always start with half pressing the shutter before I take the shot. In this way the focusing is done already.

Thanks Janet, I kinda knew that, but was surprised that you would be using p&s.; I would love nothing more than to stick with a p&s;,but the shutter lag (for shooting puppies/dogs in motion)(low-key professionally) is KILLING me. Is it true, there is no p&s; with a truly shorter shutter lag?p.s. not to mention a big ol' black SLR scares heck outta puppies!
