How fast does this camera take pictures once you've pressed the button?

You can set it based on the type of picture.. I have mine on burst and it takes it instantly. There are also advanced exposure settings and color preferences.

That depends entirely upon the setup. It can be configured for rapid-fire multi-frame shooting.The normal mode is, as with most point and shoot cameras, is to depress the shutter release half way to allow auto-focus to kick in and then when the release is fully depressed the picture is taken instantaneously. For the best results it always pays to read the manual.

There are a couple different methods of snapping pictures, holding the button down, or simply pressing and releasing. In the correct settings for your lighting it's very fast, but in low light and very dark scenarios it can tak a second. Especially if the desired target is far away. In normal lighting in auto, the photos come quickly and if you are new to the camera, you can accidentally take sever pictures without realizing it. In other words, pretty damn fast, but for split second photos, you will still need to time it a little, it's not a dslr

It simply slides over your finger. You push the button and is provides a snapshot reading in a couple seconds and not continuous.

You hold it half way down, it focuses, and then you press it all the way down and it takes the picture. There is a 3-6 second delay between pictures.

press and hold the button on top for about three seconds to enter still mode then press the button to take the photo

Hi there, sorry for the late response but we just started using this. The shutter delay is basically non-existent, it snaps as soon as the button is pushed which is awesome! Highly recommend!

No. There's a button you push and it flips out. Then you have to wait for it to charge. It isn't too long, but definitely inconvenient if you need to take a picture quickly.

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.

Much quicker than any other digital camera I have ever owned. Almost instantaneously. It does have to re-load after every rapid shot sequence (when you set it to take 10 shots automatically in a few seconds). The re-load takes about 5 seconds or so. Very clear pictures. The zoom feature is amazing and very stable.

There is no time delay. As soon as you press all the way down the picture is captured. I love this camera. It's great!

It captures as soon as you press shoot. Just used this camera for our trip to Yellowstone and cannot rave enough about it.

it is pretty fast in Program mode, but incredibly slow in the mode that takes a 4 second video before taking the still picture. Avoid that mode like the plague.

I haven't owned many other cameras besides this one, the other ones i've used are at least 5 years older so this feels lighting quick, but what I have read is this camera is slightly slower than others on the market in terms of insta-shots (pressing the button right away without half-pressing it to focus), but it is one of the quickest out there after you have already half-pressed it. I always half-press my shots anyways because I find it essential to get consistent, decent photo quality, but that's just me. What I have read is after half-pressing, the shutter speed is ~450ms, and when pressing it right away, it takes ~950ms to take a picture. Those numbers seem consistent with results I have gotten. Like the other review I read, the reasoning behind this could easily be because this camera's auto settings are much more advanced than in the past that the focus processing algorithms take longer to go through, but once it is focused, its actual shutter speed delay is very short. Do keep in mind that this camera has a continuous shoot mode (~3.4 shots/sec) as well as a high-speed burst mode (~9 shots/sec), but the high-speed bursts are only 3 megapixels (lower quality). To people saying the camera does not come anywhere close to these results, my guess is it is because they have a slower (class 4 or 6) SD card inside. I have a Sandisk extreme class 10 in mine (up to 30 mb/s, class 10 means the disk is rated at a minimum 10mb/s), and the results i got seem much closer to the 3.4 and 9 shots/sec factory results. This camera is about as quick as it gets when it comes to point-and-shoot shutter lag speeds. Put a fast memory card in there and the delay you are used to seeing in other (esp older) cameras is virtually gone. Turn off picture review (where it shows the picture right after taking it) and you'll get even faster results.

No, once you click the capture button it takes the photo and prints it immediately after. All poloroid cameras are like this. So you have to me cautious when using your film.

Actually to be honest with, it seems to be pretty fast to me at least. Its pretty impressive how the shutter reacts, as soon as I press the button to take the picture. This is why I bought in the first place; Id say in circumstances where there a lot of movemente its probably less than a second for the camera to record the picture taken Ive taken so many at a time, its awesome.

It sounds like you have your shutter set to a 10-second delay. Typically this setting is used when the photographer wants to be in the picture. Press the button to the left of the SET button and choose the single-shot or continuous option. Then the camera will take the picture as soon as you press the shutter.

I'm not sure I understand your question, but if you are asking if there is a delay while pressing the button on the transmitter, it is instantaneous in response. No different than pushing the shutter button directly on the camera. I've had this unit for a number of months now and really like it. Works really well.

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