does it have a lag time between taking pictures and turning the camera on

Yes, turning the camera on/off is not working right.First delivered one was bad and the replaced one is also the same bad condition which is very frustrating. This camera is a junk. I wasted my money for it. I do not use this camera any more.If it is possible for you, I would like to return the camera to you for refund.Hiro Inoue

If you press the ON/OFF button firmly, you have about 2 seconds then you can press the shutter button. I took this camera down the Hopi Salt Trail in the Grand Canyon latter part of 2014. The terrain, trail, hawks was just wonderful, so I kept the camera on & securely around my neck. I also bought a spare battery.

Just a little, I have enjoyed this camera. I have had more expensive and cheaper, It's good quality for the money.

There is a short lag between turn on and being able to take pictures. Decent small camera for the price. Just do not expect DSLR quality. You need a larger internal sensor for that.

Nope, it has a quick shutter lag speed, I believe it's called. This was the number one priority for me too when researching cameras. I'm happy with this one. It also takes good pics in low light on the right setting and good action shots. Very happy with the camera for the price and size.

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

Shutter lag seems minimal. But no Digital camera made so far can be as fast as my old Nikon F film camera simply because it takes a finite time to write the image to the SDHC card. With film recording the image on the film was instantaneous.

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

Yes. The camera has a "self timer" option. When composing your picture, pressing the Function button brings up the timer option where you can select the default 10 second delay, or choose an alternate time delay. Then press the shutter button and the camera will flash a warning light (and beep), increasing in speed until the shutter is released and the picture is taken.

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.

Yes it is. The only thing I dont like is when you turn the camera on you are suppose to be able to take a picture. Mine turns on at a settings screen, and theres nothing in the manuel as how to correct it.

I barely notice a lag time. I turn off review after each shot so i can take another. also I use the higher resolution settings it did take a little bit to save however i got a faster SD card and the save time is now unnoticed.

Yes, I must wait for about a second or two for the camera to reach focus. This is in the program [P] mode, or the Auto. Also, if I see a perfect picture, there is a noticeable time lapse between when I press the button and the shutter "releases" [electronically]. This means that on many occasions I have to take another picture and hope for better.

Hi There does not appear to be any lag. Hit the shutter button and you have it. By the way, I am a professional photographer and I owned the original RX100. Did not like it as I felt the lens and/or sensor was simply not sharp enough for my needs. I sold it after 3 months. The Mark 3 is fabulous and Sony has fixed the problems PLUS added an EVF. This camera lens/sensor combo is really sharp and I am delighted with it. It is my "carry around" always camera. Good luck and well wishes! - Phil Johannes

Yes. On occasion I get a lens error that can be resolved by turning the camera off then on.

I don't remember it taking anymore time than a second or two. It doesn't have the settings for continuous, but I did not notice much downtime at all between photos. Hope that helps.

It depends on what you are used to. I primarily shoot with a DSLR, and thus I definitely notice a lag. It isn't terrible, but you can't do burst shooting, so this issue tends to be less in the delay to shoot, but the processing delay after you shoot. it also depends a lot on the mode. Modes such as HDR, museum, etc can take quite some time as the shot is processed. E.g., I just took 500 photos of hummingbirds with my DSLR -- i would never do that with the Nikon. But, I don't like taking my DSLR near the waves, and with the Nikon you can take it anywhere.

There is a small delay but not bad. I get great pictures! The battery life is great. I chg mine if I'm going to party & then use it at home often & have never had a dead battery.
