Problem for Canon EOS-20D Digital Camera with 17-85mm Lens

Very long shutter release delay




By nhajaj on Mar 10, 2006

" "
recently, I occasionally get delays of several seconds between the press on the shutter release button and the actual release. This happens when the focus is already locked, in all the AF modes, and different lens.

-   I too experience a delay between pushing the button and the shutter releasing - it makes any action shots impossible!-   Koebler

-   I experienced shutter delay (5 - 25 seconds by my watch second hand) when shooting in indoor lower light conditions (normal living room table lamps turned on). I tried it using no flash, the built-in flash and Promaster 7500DX Digital flash in either Full Auto or in Continuous Shooting mode. It was when I was using Continuous Shooting that I noticed it first. Once I moved the subject so she was brightly lit the problem resolved itself. Unfortunately a 15 month-old doesn't sit still for a camera. A fast-moving infant was what prompted me to buy the camera.-   Arnycar

This is weird, usually shutter delays are caused because camera is trying to focus first, it really shouldn't happen after pre-focus. do you have a manual focus mode? if you do, try it and see if it works. if you dont, I would still suspect it some kind of focusing problem, but unfortunalty i have no idea how you can fix it yourself.

The camera may be trying to over expose the picture a little so that you do not get such a dark picture. Try it in a dark room at take the picture the lens will stay open until the camera feels it has gotten enough light and then the picture is taken. It allows the picture to be taken and be seen (not just black) without using the flash
