There is a delay when i want to take a picture while im in the live view mode , i dont know whta to do to make it ok ? help me please

You use Live view to get an accurate focus then turn live view off and then once 2 sec delay has been selected (this can be done before going into Live View) release the shutter.

Instructions

Turn on the camera and rotate the shooting dial to one of the shooting modes, such as auto.

Press the "F-Mode" button to adjust frequent settings like ISO and picture quality.

Use the up and down arrow buttons to navigate between settings. Press the right arrow button to present the available options.

Use the up and down arrows again to adjust the settings option. Press the "Menu/OK" button to apply the change.

Exit the menu by pressing the F-Mode button again. Press the Menu/OK button while in shooting mode to adjust less frequent options, such as white balance and the auto-focus mode.

Use the up and down arrow buttons to navigate between settings, similar to the F-Mode menu. Press the right arrow button to present the available options.

Use the up and down arrows again to adjust the settings option. Press the "Menu/OK" button to apply the change

Hi Susan, and welcome to FixYa-
I have had the exact problem that you are describing, albeit a different make and model of camera. Here's how I solved my issue:
I grabbed the nearest heavy object and smashed the camera....
No, but seriously, try this:
The S700 has the standard "Scene Selector" knob on the top. Make sure that this is NOT pointed toward (set to) the "Self Timer" option. The icon for this, on the camera's body, looks similar to the "Auto" setting icon.
The S700 has 3 timer modes: a 10 second delay, 2 second delay and a "Double" mode wherein the camera waits 10 seconds, takes one picture then, after an additional 2 second delay, will take a second picture. The delay must be selected by the user and will appear in your LCD viewing screen. Prior to taking a test picture, look in the display screen to see if any numbers appear. If you see any, you know that the camera is in the Self Timer mode. Simply rotate the button on top of the camera to the "Auto" icon and you'll be all set.
Good luck, and let us know how you go!

Hi, no problem, in Live view the AF and aperture is lock and hear a beep. A Lo = scene low light or aperture set in high number, open aperture or set ISO higher .

go to your picture menu and go to advanced video then go to DCM and turn it off. it should work i had the same problem if that dont work then try turning off the dynamic contrast and adaptive contrast along with the DCM. if that dont work then im sorry.

Oddly I heard some one post a solution to a similar problem. The problem stems from having your camera set to " red eye correction" Taking it off this setting solves the problem.

I'm guessing you have a delay set (people will use this on a tripod). The small button on the top left (next to the flash control) will solve your problem I think.

The canon rebel xt does not let you view the subject through the screen on the back. Canon made them all that way.

These capacitors are on Hyper Board. You have to replace in order to fix the problem. See the link: http://www.diyforums.net/projection-tv-lines-1327.html
