I just got the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX150, after taking a pic, screen says "Processing" for several sec. Any way to hurry this up?

Hi Judy O. I'm not sure I experienced that functioning when taking single shots, but if so, never felt bother by it. I believe the longer processing time is due to the size of each image you have chose to store. More to the point, the factory settings (4896x3672)is for better quality images, in order to produce "fine" print quality pictures. The higher the resolution the more processing. You can change the setting to a smaller image size (you have to consider the end product; size, quality and detail of the prints), by going to MENU-(Still Image Size)-desired size. There you should see options from (4896x3672)largest which subsquently allows less images stored, to (640x480)smallest, which allows more images stored. I hope this is helpful and solve you issue.

It should only say processing if it is in a special effect mode. If you put it on automatic it will not need to process.

Sounds like it may be a bad camera. I have no idea why it would be doing this. Did it function correctly before? If so, it may be going bad.

I just got one of these cameras, and the lag is inconsequential. I set up one of the functions to take shots, and I was amazed at how fast this camera is. In fact, I'm so used to lags with digital cameras that I wasn't ready for the immediate response from the XZ-2.

I think what may help is motion detection. I already asked the tech support guy and he said they are working towards this functionality. I would think it be done soon over the next release or two. So far my camera works great so over all its a good by. good luck ;)

While saving the image to the SD card, it says "Busy".. if it is around a second or lesser, nothing to worry... however if it is Busy for longer time, it may be some issue with your SD card or Camera... you can try another card and if the behavior is same, you need to go to the nearest service center. If SD card is slow, try with another SD card with higher speed.

Oh gosh I wish I could help. I don't even have the same computer anymore, so I no longer have the zip file. I do remember spending 2 days to get it straightened out. I would buy a new camera before going through that again. I see some good deals on newer cameras. Good luck!!

Hi, problem probably came from the flash memory card, you may try with different one (fast one like San Disk Ultra II or Extreme III). If you still get banding on images, then it's the camera, you should return it or exchange for another one.

Try with and without the image stabilization to see if that makes a difference. Also try at lower resolution. I just did "Fast 720P" with a clear picture, I also had record when moving so it only never recorded more that 5 min at a time. I have not noticed that problem yet, but I have notice jumps(screen goes blank?). Could be the card. Make sure it is a class 10 card. I just upgraded to 64gig SanDisk Extreme and will see if it makes a difference.

I had the same problem and sent in for warrenty work. Its probally not your imagination, mine was defective and they replaced the auto focus sensor. Now its easy to get crisp photos without vivid mode even. Ive had lots of olympus cameras and this was the first problem Ive ever had. they repaired the next day tehy recieved it and sent it back to me a day later. Im very happy with it now. It should be easy to get a crisp photo with this camera. Hope this helps.

I have never had that problem but I would say that it is probably the shutter moving quickly. That is the only "moving" part on this camera. I would call them for their suggestion. I have never had a problem with their customer service. 800-847-8269

Well, I'm now reading about another option: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20/B 10.1 MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Zoom and Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization.This one compares to the Panasonic ZS3 and both sell for approximately the same price. I guess I'm still stuck in wanting to figure out which one of these models (DSC-H20, ZS3, DSC-W350, W370) can do all of the things they promised but at a faster speed.

I got the same one and it has the same problem it will take still shots but not any video.It might be a big in the software or a wire is loose some where in the camera.

I'm not sure this will work. In my case, after taking a shot the image stays on for a few seconds, meaning that I can't shoot quickly on the next shot. At first, I assumed I had a slow SDHC, so I bought the fastest card I could find. After inserting it, no difference in the camera performance. By accident, however, after taking one shot I tapped the shoot button lightly, and voila, I was good to go with the next shot. Give it a shot. When you get the dark screen, try tapping the shoot button.

You should select "smart mode" first. You may do that by turning the knob on top of the camera to the black rectangle with a white "s" in the middle. You should then see a menu on the screen for various lighting situations. Select "Low Light Shot" from the menu, and remember to hold the camera steady during the shot. In this mode, you'll hear four clicks in rapid succession, and then the camera will process the shot. I hope this has helped.

The lag can be as much as 15-20 seconds if you are using certain scene modes - for instance night shots. That is the primary reason I sold this camera on ebay a few months after I got it. It takes great photos, and some of the scene modes - like museum - are great, but I missed a ton of cool opportunities in the night markets in China because of slow processing. Much slower, in fact, that my 2005 era canon digital elph that I had hoped this camera would replace. :-/

There is a firmware update which totally eliminates this problem. Go to Kodak's website and download the firmware. Complete instructions are available for completing the update.

This is the same for me. My old SONY DSC 100 was able to do this...It would say capture in the viewfinder when you pressed the shutterbutton. The DSC 400V I just bought does NOT do this. How can some above say it does??
