delay

[lizzy]

I have a fuji camera and there seems to be a delay when taking pics when itake one the image is of the next movement the person makes ie i took picture of mum holding birthday cake but the image was of her putting cake down wich is what she done straight after carryin it

its the shutter lag which is present on most digital cameras. it is the delay from when you press the button to the shutter actualy clicking and taking the photo. My camera is prone to this. one way to try and alivieate this is by prefocussing the camera ie look through the viewfinder and press the button half way down. then when the shot is lined up click the photo. this wayn the camera is half foccused and will shorten the delay. hope this helps

many thanks will try that as my daughter is disabled we try to take photos as she progresses with her equipment but are missing some vital shots
