Is there a delay between the moment when you press the button and when the picture is taken?

There is not much of a delay between pressing the button & taking a picture, however there is a noticeable delay between taking a picture & the camera being ready to take another picture. I find this annoying at times.

Yes, the camera needs to focus, especially in low light settings. That is why you need to press the Shutter Button down half way, so the camera can figure out all the settings to take a good picture. After the camera meters your subject, then press the Shutter Button all the down and the camera takes the picture instantly. You probably should download the complete manual from Panasonic's web site. Hope this helps.

It only has a shutter button and a two second delay. If you want something for time lapse photography this probably isn't it.

The delay is not due to the shutter. The problem with this camera is it's S L O W auto focus. I'd the camera has the subject in focus it fires immediately when the shutter release is pushed. If you are trying to photograph a moving subject the forget about ever getting the shot with this camera. This camera is excellent for landscapes or anything that doesn't require fast autofocus.

Most digital cameras have a lag time when taking pictures. The lag time is needed to meter (determine settings) when the camera is set to auto. To take a good picture with this camera, hold the shutter button (picture button) down half way and let the camera meter the image, then after the camera has figured the best settings for the picture, press the shutter button all the way down to take the picture. I hope this helps.

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.

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

I don't notice any delay. There is also a green led in the receiver that flickers when you press a button on your remote.

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

Yes there is a noticiable lag delay between shots. I have not found the burst setting on camera. I used to own a D10 which I found had shorter lag time compared to this model.

Lag time when you take each shot so the image you get is a split second after you push the button, not so good with sports action shots. Also lag time between shots.

The delay before shooting isn't very noticeable to me.... I love my camera! Great scene capabilities... and effects.

No. This camera has a minimum 3 second delay from when it senses motion to when it takes a picture.

I'm not an expert. That being said, I would say it does seem to pause when I'm ready to take a photo. Hope that helps.

It doesn't specifically do that; once you press the button, the camera (if you have it on Automatic) will adjust focus and then take the photo immediately after!

Yes it has a button to take pictures using the remote but no there is no time delay function on the remote

May be out of focus. The camera has auto focus but you have to let the pic come into focus prior to hitting the button. Some times more light is needed.
