I am missing out on moments that are meant to last a lifetime because when I push the button to take the picture it takes about 5 seconds before taking the actual picture. then the moment I was trying to capture has passed...I even tried setting it on action mode for all my pictures and that makes no difference in the speed.
Try taking off the self timer

look for a small opening to insert a pin. many companies offer this hole as a way to reset the micro-controller. insert the pin during power up

Probably you are using the M mode or manual mode for taking the pictures. this shouldn't happen in Auto mode. The exposure time is set to maximum and the camera behaves as it shoot during the completely dark environment - trying to stay "open" to absorb as much light as it needed for the picture. If you are trying it during the night you will be more satisfied with the result - 30 seconds of "capturing" on the screen, a tripod and you are goimg to have exellent night shot. I had the same problem, just because I haven'got read the manual for the camera first. My advise is to check in the manual what is written for the "M" mode. Hope that I help.

if it has changed it's possible you changed the mode to where it takes longer to focus.
for one, this camera has a "constant focus" function that will continuously monitor distance to target and keep the camera in focus, for fastest focusing, switch to this mode. also, are you pre-focusing your images?
Many novices don't know that you are supposed to 'prime' the camera by lightly pressing down the shutter and then when it lights green on the LED light and on the screen, you depress the shutter fully to take the picture. I experience fast picutures this way and I prefer not to even use constant-focus mode. give that a try.
if you don't 'prime' it, the camera basically doesnt know its about to take a picture, so when you hit the button it has to effectively say "OH CRAP picture time!", focus itself, and then snap the pic.
best of luck.

this is just the lag time of the camera..nothing you can do about it...sorry
SOURCE: Is there any way to speed up the time from when i
there really isn't, sad to say. I too used to take photos of my grandchildren and got really tire of getting an "after the cute smile, or event" image. (back of head, etc). I upgraded to a DSLR camera and no longer have that problem. I use the continuous shooting mode, so it shoots several images in a row, and I don't miss a thing!!!!!
