Camera delays?

 

Generally, beginner-level cameras suffer from two types of camera delays: Shutter lag and shot-to-shot delays. What could we do about this? When large zoom lenses are fully extended, shutter lag increases. Most point and shoot models allow you to pre-focus by pressing the shutter button halfway before taking the shot. You can overcome shot-to-shot delays by shooting in burst mode, where the camera snaps several photos at a preset image size within a couple of seconds.

This has something to do with what camera you are using, like Sony. In low-light conditions, this delay, called shutter lag, can last a full second or more, which could cause you to miss a spontaneous photo or which could cause blurry photos, if you can’t hold the camera steady during the shutter lag. When using auto-focus mode, your digital camera may need a fraction of a second to focus on the image.

In the same time, shot-to-shot delays occur when the camera must transfer the image to the memory card and clear the sensor before shooting another photo. When using a flash, you may experience shutter lag, too, because the camera’s focus-assist light needs to fire to allow the camera to focus before it fires the main flash.
