Is there a long delay between shots even when using the setting that takes many shots in a row?

i have not tried that setting-- but there is a delay in taking photos a single shot at a time....I bought rechargeable batteries 2800 something to get more power....still is a delay......pictures are good ......camera is slow,

I have found that using a hd card with higher speed (10) enables you to take pictures with very little delay. Most of the hd cards are (4)

No. I haven't noticed much of a delay. I have not tried it with the flash, however. It may not work as quickly since the flash has to recharge.

There is no delay when you set the camera to take multiple shots and press the button and hold it. It is like taking a movie. But taking single shots in succession there is a slight delay. Again let me say it also depends on the speed of the flash card you are using and the batteries you are using. You do realize that taking single pictures in rapid succession, you are not giving the auto stabilization feature in the camera a chance to work and your pictures may come out blurred. Good luck!

The answer to your question is, no there is no long delay if you push the button down and hold it there to take multiple shots. But if you are shooting still images and using the flash, the flash takes about 3/4 seconds to recharge depending on if your batteries are fully charged or not. If you use your flash it would be wise to purchase some rechargeable Metal Hydride batteries with at least a 2300 mAh rating and you will see a big difference in how many pictures you can take without changing the batteries. Hope this information helps.

I'm not sure I understand your question, but if you are asking if there is a delay while pressing the button on the transmitter, it is instantaneous in response. No different than pushing the shutter button directly on the camera. I've had this unit for a number of months now and really like it. Works really well.

It is pretty slow between shots. More than three seconds. It seems that it takes a long time to autofocus between shots. I put an 8gb sd card in and now most of the time I shoot in continuous shooting mode, which takes as many shots as you'd like rapidly, as long as you hold down the shutter button. Remember this is not an expensive camera. I have a Lumix DMC-ZS10 (about 2 years old), which was almost $300 at the time, which takes only a second or less between pics.

Hi there, sorry for the late response but we just started using this. The shutter delay is basically non-existent, it snaps as soon as the button is pushed which is awesome! Highly recommend!

Can you describe the conditions and the camera settings in which you usually see this? Are you shooting long bursts? In low light? What memory card are you using? Have you tried a different one? Have you reformated the memory card in the camera recently? Are you shooting jpeg, RAW or both?

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

There is a significant wait between standard shots, but I don't find it a problem considering there are 3 burst modes from which to choose in order to get ultra fast continuous shots.

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

Not that we're aware of. We just recently bought the camera and haven't used it much. It does have a time-delayed option -- as in setting up the camera for a shot and joining in the picture. But not a time-elapsed feature that we know of.cj

Yes it seems to be in slow motion when using the Magic Pix(nightshot) mode.. although I'm not sure how this looks when transfered to P.C.

The delay is not due to the shutter. The problem with this camera is it's S L O W auto focus. I'd the camera has the subject in focus it fires immediately when the shutter release is pushed. If you are trying to photograph a moving subject the forget about ever getting the shot with this camera. This camera is excellent for landscapes or anything that doesn't require fast autofocus.

Assuming you mean to set a timer to delay taking the picture, the answer is no. AT least I have not founfd a way to do this.

Hi, I have not noticed a lag between the shutter and the photo. And I find the Lumix to be an excellent point and shoot. One of the very best that I have tried.Harry

Sometimes in low light it seems to be too long. It depends on the setting and if the lighting is appropriate for the setting you choose. There is a high speed burst feature that lets you take high speed single photos, like a movie only freeze frame that is really fast. Overall, I'd say once you are familiar with the settings and features its pretty quick. It does take some playing with it to get used to all the options.

Hi Richard, waiting time between two shots is relatively long, but there is an function called "continuous shooting" which I like. Battery life time is really great. Zoom does not diminish final picture. In regards high speed video, there is a bug in the software. After lets say 1 minute of the high speed video, buffer gets full and final video is than affected :( Other than that I am very happy with this camera! Cheers, Milan

There is no perceptible delay in the time, between depressing the small....almost obscure shutter release button and the soft click of the shutter. The single "learning curve" anomaly I found was, becoming accustomed to framing the shot in the rear viewing display. There is a difference however....dependent on the data writing speed of the flash recording card you choose to purchase. It is the size/weight advantage of this quality camera, which I find the most advantageous.
