I am familiar with the problem, but don't know the answer. The autofocus is too slow and frustrating when trying to take quick shots. I am looking for a replacement camera.

It seems slow to me also. Do you like the camera? So far I am NOT thrilled with it. My point and shoot Panasonic ZS give me better results.

From the owners manual: By adjusting shutter speed, you can shoot a moving object with a different representation, such as freezing action, or emphasizing movement with its trace. 1. Set the mode dial to (Shutter Speed Priority Shooting). 2. Press on the control button, then select the desired value. 3. Focus on your subject and shoot. The aperture value is set automatically to achieve correct exposure. You can shoot at your favorite exposure by manually setting shutter speed and aperture value. 1. Set the mode dial to (Manual Exposure Shooting). 2. Press on the control button. 3. Select the desired shutter speed, and select the aperture (F value). Select a shutter speed from 1/2000 seconds to 30 seconds. When zoom is set fully to W, you can select an aperture of F3.4 or F8.1. When zoom is set fully to T, you can select an aperture of F6.5 or F8.0.

Yes, it has a self-timer button. Push the Func Set and then scroll to the self-timer. You have different options on how many seconds before the photo is taken. One give you 10 seconds to join the photo, and the other prevents blurring when pressing the shutter button. Also, you can hit the question mark button ? and then scroll down to self-timer. (Scroll down by pushing DISP.)

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.

Yes, there is a way to handle this. Just depress your shutter button half way after you take your picture and it will not wait the 5 seconds between shots, it will be ready to go right away. Once you depress the shutter button half way and release the preview will disappear and you will be ready to shoot again.

It is automatic (honestly didn't check if there's also a stop button option). You can adjust the amount of time between shots anywhere from a few seconds to minutes.

It has continuous shooting if you hold down the shutter button. It's not too quick but it's effective. I like mine!

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, in M (Manual) mode, you can set the shutter speed to as slow as 30 seconds.

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.

No, you do not have to hold the button down. Press once to start exposure, press again to stop. BTW...Might I suggest the RC-6 rather than the RC-5 remote. The difference is that the RC-5 has only a 2-second delay shutter release, whereas the RC-6 has a switch to change from 2-second to immediate shutter release. A much better choice in my opinion.

put your camera in single shot mode,then half press for focus and then fully depress to take the shot,note the shutter boss will only take up to 2 fps when set on continuous shooting,both led's should turn red when releasing the shutter.

Yes, there's a button on the back of the camera with a clock face inscribed on it. Push this button and a menu will appear on the screen asking if you want a 2 or a 10 second delay. Works great.

I've never had that problem although I do know that you really need to hold the button down until you hear the shutter click almost an old-fashioned film camera or the picture won't take. Hope you find a solution to your problem!

The button locks (in fact, some times by accident) but I haven't tried long exposure modes.

I set the timer for either 2 or 10 seconds. I click the shutter button, then hope and pray it's positioned right. I used this primarily for selfies (pictures of my wife and I on vacation - beats always trying to ask someone and hope they don't run off with your camera and all your pictures). Enjoy it! It's wonderful.
