  • ravs77 Apr 28, 2008

    Camera is Canon Powershot A400. I shoot in auto mode. It takes 3 seconds to get ready for next shot when I use flash. Without flash it takes only 1second to get ready.

There a several ways:

either the camera is slow and you need a sports mode
or the memory you use is slow and the camera needs faster memory to write down the picture /image

what camera are we talking about ?
and what mode do you shoot in and how long does it take to write the image on the card??

Camera can't take photos

Most of the time, when a camera asks to shut down there is a problem with the camera. Could be the lens can't come out complete or other, almost invisible things. Even the battery can be a bit low, so as soon as it wants to make the camera ready to "shoot" the voltage goes low. Lots of cameras, will go off then. If you can't find any obstruction on the lens, please charge the battery and try again.

Problem reading picture

I also encountered this problem and found out that this was due to camera not being ready for the next image and click at this time will cause reading problem. Secondly, this might be due to low battery while taking picture.

Pauses between takes

THE PAUSE TIME YOU ARE TELLING IS THE TIME TAKEN BY CAMERA TO READY AGAIN. YOU CAN NOTICE THAT WHEN YOU SHOOT PHOTO WITHOUT FLAST/OUTDOOR IN DAY TIME THAN IT DO NOT TAKES TIME PAUSE. WHEN CAMERA USES FLASH IT WILL TAKE TIME TO BE READY FOR NEXT SHOOT. IT IS NORMAL

Takes a long time to focus / take a picture

According to your description, I would like to assume that your camera takes 9 seconds to get the flash ready, not to focus. If it is the focus problem, you need to send the camera for realignment or to replace the lens.
Here is my suggestion:
Try to disable the flash. Does it still take 9 seconds to take picture? If the answer is ‘no’, then try to use fully charged batteries or new batteries to reduce the flash charging time.
If you have a ‘batteries drain quickly’ issue as well, this tip may help: Why my camera keeps saying ‘change battery’ even with new batteries?

Flash takes too long

Its all relative. With most of these compact cameras, to conserve power, the camera does not always keep the flash ready to fire at any given second. Firing the flash uses a lot of juice, so if it was always at the ready, the battery life would be reduced to half or less, which would would cause more problems.

When you press the button the camera then tries to cycle up enough flash power that it thinks it will need to light the scene correctly. This will require less time if its in the day and longer if its dark.
Add more time if the battery life is low.

Once you fire the flash and exhaust all the reserve power from the buffer, the camera will need to recycle itself to garner enough power for another flash, this again adds time.

More expensive cameras have better power management and can cycle up faster.

LONG warm-up time before ready to shoot

I found that a large memory card will make the "warm up" time longer. If you use a smaller memory card, this will not be the case.
