is there a time delay between pressing shoot and the actual capturing of the image? or does it capture as soon as you press shoot?

It captures as soon as you press shoot. Just used this camera for our trip to Yellowstone and cannot rave enough about it.

It captures as soon as you press the trigger button unless it is set for night pictures.

There is no time delay. As soon as you press all the way down the picture is captured. I love this camera. It's great!

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.

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.

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

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.

There is a delay as the camera focuses. To eliminate the delay, hold the shutter button down halfway until the camera beeps, then push it all the way.

Haven't found any "lag" between shots at 2-3 seconds each. Most of my photos are portraits and landscapes.

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.

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.

No, once you click the capture button it takes the photo and prints it immediately after. All poloroid cameras are like this. So you have to me cautious when using your film.

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.

The delay is minimum between single shot in auto mode, not more than the time needed for it to refocus, definitely less than 1 second. I don't know if this has anything to do with the SD card. I am using a class 10 card. The camera also has a continuous shooting mode, in which it can take about 7 frames all within 2 seconds.

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

My wife and I bought this camera for a trip we took to Italy, I worked out great, we took several hunder pictures but I never noticed a delay. Make sure you use at least a class 10 SD card and i believe you will be satisfied.

Quite unscientific, but an educated guess is about two seconds from press button, take pic, process/view, manually take next picture. Fastest camera I have ever used. Of course you can also use it in the "burst or continuous" mode and take multiple pics in one press. In that mode, it is of course, much faster as you are not displaying each pic until you stop and choose to view. Hope it helps.

I have not found any delay. However, I'm just an amateur when it comes to taking pics, so I'm not sure how important it is for you to know the length of the shutter lag.

Yes....you can choose between two delayed settings: 2 seconds or 10 seconds. It's a GREAT little camera for the price especially. Takes terrifically clear shots and is very easy to use. I've enjoyed this camera very much
