I have a Sony DSC-F717 which I have loved - bought it about 4 years ago and have taken approx. 9000 photos. Over the past 3-4 months I have noticed that the response time has been more and more sluggish - in recharge time, time to take a second shot, even the time from when I depress the shutter to when the shot is actually 'taken'. I'm missing way too many shots. Can a new battery help, or is this just age of the camera, or what can I do? Thanks for any help.
-   Hi I have the sony DSC-H1 and I have noticed that my response time while using the flash is extremely slower than it used to be. I have used fully charged batteries and even purchased new batteries and they are fully charged and I still get a really slow recharge time with the flash. Any suggestions?-   Guest
i do not think the problem has anything to do with the batteries. but any way replacing the battery is the easiest thing. try pressing the reset button on the camera. it seems that there is a software clash with the machine or improper setting of the modes. reseting may help you.
As the number of pictures on the memory card increases the response time will slow down. Take those 9,000 pics off your camera and transfer them to CD-R. Then delete them from the memory card.

I would like to restore all the setting to original factory setting when I bought it. I followed the recommendation, removing battery while press power button, it didn't work. I'd like to set manuel. Do you have that info? thanks

external flash will not override internal flash - the subject ends up with very harsh over-lighting. in other words, both flashes go off when i have the camera flash set "on". this is with the hot shoe function "off". if i turn the hot shoe function "on", then neither flash works (internal or external).
