shutter lag on z990: Any suggestions?

Yes, there is a way to handle this. Just depress your shutter button half way after you take your picture and it will not wait the 5 seconds between shots, it will be ready to go right away. Once you depress the shutter button half way and release the preview will disappear and you will be ready to shoot again.

Try fiddling with the wheel on the side. On my D90, there is a huge space between the moment it triggers and when it releases. As for lightning trigger, for me it systematically triggers AFTER the lightning has gone.

Try going to the custom menu and turning on Shoot w/o Lens. The lens is manual and the camera cannot use automatic settings.

I have had the same exact problem with indoor and low light pictures. It's the ourtcome of ther slow focusing zoom. I wish I had not made this purchase. Very disappointing as I have owned Nikon Coolpixs in the past.

All non-SLR digital cameras have some sort of delay inherent in the system, it's the nature of the beast. The delay on the Z650 other than during image processing (burst mode or after shooting several pics in a row) is quite acceptable.

try putting the camera on a table and taking a picture while is absolutely still. If it is still blurry I would call Nikon

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

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!

1. The Z990 is the latest model. It uses the latest image sensor (BSI CMOS not CCD) which is supposed to be better in low light (hence, faster in regular light). 2. Neither model can accept a filter. 3. Not sure ... but I read it might be 30 minutes. 4. The problem with ultra zooms (as you can see in professional sporting events) - is that you need a tripod when using it (or high shutter speed) to compensate. This is true for all cameras (even for traditional film cameras). I assume you will be shooting in daylight - but since the boat will be moving (at sea), you will have to use a wider aperture opening and faster shutter speed (or higher ISO). Either way, a tripod is the best way to go.

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

Yes, there is lag. This has a CCD sensor, I have many cameras. I suggest if you want no shutter lag at all, a CMOS sensor camera. Panasonic SZ7 is a good one. It will take a photo almost instantly.

Sorry man I have not used it yet. On my others camera it is a setting I can change. I'll look at the camera when I get home and see if I can help out. I have been out of town. I'll get back this weekend

Hello,Maybe try turning flash off, if you haven't already. There is also a macro mode built in this camera to account for close up shots. Hope this helps. :)

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.
