What is the refresh time between pictures? In other words, after a picture is taken, how long does it take for the camera to be ready for next pic?

Hi Stephanie. The camera is motion activated so it will take pictures as long the movement continues. You will set it up initially, anywhere from 2 seconds up between shots. It can also be set up to take a 10 second video. I would highly recommend it. It works great in all kinds of weather. ~Celeste

I used this device on a trip to Antarctica recently and it worked well. I am not sure what is meant by refresh rate. Are you referring to the refresh rate after taking a picture or the refresh rate after turning the device off and then on again? There does not seem to be a refresh needed after each picture. There is a delay when you move from location to location as it takes time for the satellite to find you. I found it necessary to continue to have the camera on at all times, so that it does not go into sleep mode, otherwise it looses its position. If the device is turned off, then back on again it can take up to 10 minutes or more to recover your position.

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

You can set the time lapse for up to 30 minutes between shots with a maximum of 1000 shots. This would give you approximately 3 weeks before the last shot was taken. However, your battery and possibly your sd card would limit this.

Yes, there is slight delay between photos when taking successive pictures rapidly--the camera takes a few seconds to process a shot before being ready for the next one.Not a problem for still scenes or landscapes, etc., but for photos of sports scenes or active children,you should consider a faster camera (and, of course, with a higher price). It's a good camera, easy-to-use, but has its limitations. Good luck.

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....

Imediately after taking the photo, when it comes out of the camera, you cannot expose it to light. What I'll do when I take a photo is place it upside down on the counter so light can't get to it while it is processing. Also I'll wait 20 minutes before I'll even look at the photo.

It streams as you take them. After you take the first picture it takes about 10-15 sec for the camera to connect to the phone then about 1-3 sec to transfer each full resolution pic. You can turn off the sync on the phone or camera. There is no interrupting your picture taking as the sync queues up when the camera is available. I took 50 pictures anand they were all on my phone 2 minutes later.

I don't understand your question, if your asking:Does this camera have time as in how long has it been in the market? : I bought mine like 4 or 5 years ago so it's been a while, (and stopped working properly about 6-7 month after buying it; but looks good as a decor element) orDoes this camera have time as if this camera has timestamp? yes it has but can't remember where is in the menu sorry..

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..

There are a couple different methods of snapping pictures, holding the button down, or simply pressing and releasing. In the correct settings for your lighting it's very fast, but in low light and very dark scenarios it can tak a second. Especially if the desired target is far away. In normal lighting in auto, the photos come quickly and if you are new to the camera, you can accidentally take sever pictures without realizing it. In other words, pretty damn fast, but for split second photos, you will still need to time it a little, it's not a dslr

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

I must have got a lemon. Battery life is sporadic, and not dependent on the usual factors, like using flash or video. I turn off my camera after each photo or group of photos. Sometimes a battery will last a 1-2 hours, sometimes a few weeks. I have three with me at all times or I may not be able to use my camera.

I'm not an expert. That being said, I would say it does seem to pause when I'm ready to take a photo. Hope that helps.

My camera has two modes. One is a time delay feature. So I'll get everything ready, set a delay, hold the camera out and wait for the timer. The other mode is a rapid picture mode. It allows me to have the camera take pictures once a minute until it runs out of memory. So I set the camera to start taking time slice pictures. The first few pictures are me positioning the camera and throw away. The last few pictures are me turning the camera off and throw away. Hopefully I get a few good pictures in the middle. It has been a little trial and error but I'm getting better at it.

There is a little delay. More on some settings than others. I would say the battery life is good but I would recommend having a backup. I haven't had the camera for long and I'm no expert so I don't know what would be considered normal usage. I have shot over a hundred pictures on one battery and that is with some playing around with the camera also. Hope this helps.

Also note that any camera will slow down the "time between shots" if you use flash and maximum resolution and HD. But 5-10 seconds is absurd. Let us know if the extra firmware update improves this.
