How is the shutter speed? Quick or can it be adjusted?

I believe that it can be adjusted. I love the camera but don't mess with a lot of the functions...I wish I knew a lot more about cameras.

This camera operates like most standard SLRs without the large, bulky size and weight. It is a fixed 4.3-1.29.0mm zoom lens which is all I need for personal use. It is not really designed for profession use but is able to provide some very nice photos. The Manual (M) setting allows you to set your own shutter and aperture speed. The Aperture Priority (AV) setting sets the aperture (F3.4 to F8) while the camera selects the shutter speed. The Shutter Speed Priority (TV) setting allows you to set the shutter speed (15" to 1/1600) while the camera selects the aperture. The Program (P) setting sets various camera functions. Other settings include the Live View Control, Portrait, Standard Mode, and the obligatory Auto setting which are self explanatory. Interestingly, this camera includes a Fish Eye Effect setting which shoots with the effect of a fish eye lens and a Discreet setting which turns of all sounds and the flash for discreet use. The adjustment dial is conveniently located on the back next to the LCD screen and all functions are clearly marked. In my opinion, the compact size and numerous features are the true selling points of this camera.

Depending on the mode you select, nightime, landscape, etc, the shutter speed adjusts. I do not know if it can be manually changed.

Yes it is very fast, and the pictures come out very sharp and clear I have taken some outstanding pictures with my camera. The other thing is you can play them back in slow motion and that just is sharp.

The automatic shutter speed is variable based on conditions. There is a manual position which allows you to set the shutter speed to whatever you want.

You can shoot shots pretty quick, but then the camera takes a few seconds to catch up. I usually use a burst of several and it recovers by the time I am ready to shoot again.

Yes you can manually set the shutter speed. You set the dial to S, press the +/- button and then select the desired speed. You can manually set the aperture also.

Hello Sr's.I have just bought this camera, been playing around with the settings for a coupple of days, its just GREAT. Its not the fastest camera out there, it DOES have a slight delay from PRESS to SHOT, dont know exacly how long, but its noticeable.However this camera, on auto mode, allows you to set an option ON to "fast capture" this will make the Shutter speed way faster... Intented for use to take a pic on a racing event or sports event. I think with this setting ON might be sufficient to capture that lil' angel smile just fine!

in bright light-the camera is fast with the shutter, but in low light it is definitely slow and you would need a tripod

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.

Have you tried putting the camera into sports mode. I think then you will get a faster shutter speed.

The Auto mode attempts to do this automatically (see manual page 44) but you can also control it directly by using Shutter Priority mode with a speed above 1/250. See manual page 49.

I have a similar question, I'll just add it here. Is it fast enough, for example, take pictures jumping in the air (without being blurry)? Just so I can have a perspective.

The shutter speed automatically varies with the available light and lens aperture. The manual says that the shutter has a range from 2 sec to 1/1600 sec.

Its pretty fast, not in burst setting its about a sec. I never use auto though because ever since watching the videos online its pretty easy making better pictures using the other settings.

Rebecca, I am not a camera person; therefore, shutter speed/lag time is beyond my knowledge. However, what I do know as a novice is that it is easy to use and takes "great" pictures. I am very happy with the camera, I have had it for over ten years, and had no problems with the operation of the camera.

The shutter speed is chosen automatically by the camera. It works well in very bright light, and also does fine at taking pictures of things in motion.
