Shutter lag an issue wit this camera?

There is a long lag time in the auto mode. That is the only mode I have used.

Yes, I regret buying this camera due to the shutter lag- which ultimately seems to result in blurred photos if the subject is moving. The older canon Powershots like the sx100 did not have this problem.

All digital cameras that I have used do have that "lag". It is focusing and that takes a bit of time. You can help by pressing slightly on the button until it is focused and then it will have very little lag. Try that, do not push it all the way down, just half way and watch the picture. when the square changes to green press the button the rest of the way down and it should have eliminated the lag. Good luck with it, I sure like mine.

Shutter lag time.... I don"t know, or even how to calculate that. But the first pictures were at my Daughters dance. I thought i just didn't know how to run this midget camera but most of those pictures were very blurry.

Try setting the camera to Shutter Priority and setting the shutter speed to 1/30 or faster. If the images are too dark set the ISO to a faster setting.

No, the shutter speed is way too slow. I attempted to take photos at an adult birthday party and although most people were sitting down just talking to each other, I still had a bunch of blurred photos. Get a small Pansonic (fx 15 or 20) instead. Panasonics take fast pictures and are not that expensive!

No, there should be no delay. Check if you have shutter delay in the camera menu. It is not normal to have delay only with the flash.

cnet has a good articleJet Lag: Cameras with a short shutter delaywith plenty of specific data on this camera and four others.http://reviews.cnet.com/4321-6501_7-6544164-1.html

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..

This is a question that can't be answered. In perfect light I have not found any shutter lag, but in poor lighting conditions the lag is very noticeable.

Hi, I don't have advice- but have the same problem! I'm frustrated that I purchased this camera and now can probably not return it!!! Good luck!! let me know if you find any tricks to get better pictures.

Haven't noticed that problem specifically, however, the shutter lag is horrendous on either alkaline or lithium and might be related as I leave the setting at auto flash most of the time.

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.

No problems with flash charging on either alkaline or lithium, but the shutter lag is horrendous.

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

In my opinion, when using the video function there is a delay. there may be a slight delay in picture mode but not more than any other camera I have used. hope this helps!

I gave that camera to my God daughter a year or two ago. I guess the shutter speed is okay. Check the specs on Olympus' web site for the shutter speed and other details.

Not sure what is the problem you are having. I didn't have any problem with mine. It's great camera.
