Chapter 7: Troubleshooting and Support 135
A long delay
occurs
between
pressing the
Shutter button
and the
camera
taking a
picture.
The camera
needs time to
lock focus and
exposure.
Use Focus Lock (see page 37).
The scene is
dark and the
camera is
taking a long
exposure.
! Use the flash.
! If using flash is not possible, then
use a tripod to keep the camera
steady during the long exposure
time.
! Make sure that the Focus Assist
light is set to Auto (see
Focus
Assist Light
on page 117).
The camera is
using a flash
setting with
Red-eye
Reduction.
It will take longer to take a picture
with Red-eye Reduction. The
shutter is delayed because of the
additional flash. In turn, make
sure your subjects wait for the
second flash.
