Does anyone know how to adjust Sony shutter speed?

jstar · 17th September 2006

Hi there,

Was wondering if anyone has a Sony Cybershot - is it possible to do something about the shutter lag? I have a similar model, mine's a dsc p8 - to my friend's camera, we set both our metering modes to spot metering but my camera has a very obvious shutter lag. And when I shoot in scene mode, the focus is always off. For him it's just point & shoot! & everything turns out nicely! Does anyone know any hidden setting, so to speak, that will solve this problem? Hope someone can help. Thanks!

Sorry, no idea, but Sony P8 seem to be an old model (by Digital P&S standard)

The latest camera tend to have improvement on shutter shooting speed and start up time etc.

shutter speed and shutter lag are 2 different things. i believe you meant slow shutter speed? check the ISO setting.
