Delay? Does anyone have a delay between pressing the shutter button and the image that is actually recorded?

I'm not sure if this will help or not, but I have found that when I want to take pictures of kids or moving sports objects - I select a mode like the sports mode and then push the shutter down half way to allow the camera time to focus on the subjects. Then I continue to follow the subject while holding the shutter half way down and when the shot I want appears I just complete pushing down the shutter and the picture will be taken instantly. If I don't push the shutter down half way first, I end up with the same 1 second delay between the picture I wanted to capture and what actually shows up on the viewfinder. Hope that helps. Mike

I don't remember it taking anymore time than a second or two. It doesn't have the settings for continuous, but I did not notice much downtime at all between photos. Hope that helps.

I have captured still photos while recording by pressing the shutter button. the picture is captured and the recording continues. I was also confused with this, but when I reviewed the video I eventual saw the pictures taken after the video play back. Yes, I agree this camera is awesome. if you have a smartphone or tablet the sony app turn them into remote controls for the camera through Wi-Fi. I am sorry, if too much info, please disregard.

I'm not sure how that's happening to you. There's a photo button you have to press to take stills. Maybe you are pressing that because it's on top.

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

Depending on how you set it on your settings, it can be delayed for as long as you wished, but Sony has it in the box by default; so you will need to configure your settings. I have mine for 1 sec so I can see it quickly and depending on the circumstances, I will have it off if it is necessary, others, I would move it to 3 to 5 seconds to study it if any adjustments is necessary and this gives me a chance to delete this "image" right on the spot if it didn't turn out the way it was supposed to without having to go to the menu and review everything there. Everyone is different, so take your time and configure your Sony Camera settings the way you would like for it to be - but note: Some settings in some areas, are not applicable while others it would be available so it pays to take your time to configure everything everywhere.

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.

You might be trying to use the flash too fast after using it the first or second time. It takes time for the battery powere to build up for each flash. There is definitely a lag time in between using the flash. Don't try to use the flash again with out waiting 15 seconds or so. When you push the shutter button halfway to let the camera focus before taking the picture you should be able to tell if enough battery power has built up for the next flash. I doubt your camera is defective. IOt is just matter of understandimg how it works & using it correctly.

There is a lag between photos. Depends on how strong your batteries are at the time you are taking multiple pictures. Hope this helps.

Like most digital cameras there is a distinct pause between pushing the shutter button and the picture being taken. So you may not get the exact picture you were hoping for. Other than that it works fine for this.

Its better than most cameras. Especially if you hold the button down halfway first and let the camera focus first, then the shutter lag is almost non-existent. If you're pushing the button all the way without pre-focusing, it can take a few seconds for the camera to focus and then take.

I have found there is a slight delay of 1-2 seconds. I turn it on then take a deep breath and I'm good to go.Hope this helps.

I thought I had that problem...but, I really didn't. Sometimes when I aim at camera at a scene I want to photograph, that scene is blurry. However, it does not last. I lightly click the button that takes the picture, without pushing it down hard enough to take that picture. Every time, so far, the image rights itself and is no longer blurry, but sharp. I believe every time I have had the blurry image appear, it has been in daylight and on auto setting.

It is only a few seconds, maybe two or three. I used this camera for the first time this weekend on a getaway & had no issue with the slight delay. Still got great pictures.

It looks like your timer is on. Change to single frame shooting? You can also update the firmware in the camera if yours is not up to date.

Check your shutter speed... Most likely it's set on 1/15th which would allow for camera or subject motion. If you're talking about an actual lag from pressing the shutter button then that may be a defect (or may be focus hunting - try pre focusing)
