Q: Why is there a delay before I can take another picture after I push the shutter release button?

A: There are several reasons for this delay.

The camera must:

  • Set the focus, exposure time, white balance, and so forth.
  • Charge up the CCD. The camera cannot hold the charge for long, so it does it right before you shoot.
  • Copy the image out of the CCD into RAM.
  • Compress the image after it has been taken.
  • Write the image to the flash memory.
