Shutter Lag Making You Shudder?

Shutter lag is time between the instant you press the camera's shutter when the camera actually takes the picture. It may seem like your camera is performing slowly, but it's actually doing a lot during that time. Below are a few tips on how to get rid of the blur of shutter lag:

Be Ready For Action: If you are taking an action photo, perhaps at a sporting event, try to anticipate where the action is headed. Being prepared is the best opportunity for the perfect shot.

Lock Your Camera’s Focus: Pressing the shutter halfway can dramatically reduce shutter lag. By doing this you are telling your camera to focus and make other adjustments before it's time to take the picture. When the time is right to snap the photo, press the shutter button all the way down to instantly capture the desired photo.

Use the Right Setting: All digital cameras have setting for different types of shots. For action shots, use your camera's Action shooting mode. It uses a fast shutter speed to stop the action, so you get clear photos without blur.

Decrease resolution: Higher-resolution pictures take your camera longer to record because there's more information to process. By decreasing your camera's resolution setting to something like 3 to 4 MP, you can take lower-resolution photos in less time.

Take Lots of Shots: The best way to get your perfect shot is to take a ton of photos. This increases your odds of capturing the one you really want.
