Revision history [back]

When taking photos especially with flash the shutter sound is played way ahead of taking the actual picture. This results often to a shaken unsharp picture.

When you take picture where flash fires. There are two flashes after shutter button (on-display) is released. I suppose first pre flash is to get measurements correct (exposure time etc.). Then the second flash is when the picture is taken. Unfortunately shutter sound is played same time as first flash fires and then after a ... fraction of a second comes the second flash when picture is actually taken.

I am no photografer and my conclusion can be totally wrong, but capturing sharp pictures with flash has been getting harder.. because of this shutter sound timing error.

If my memory serves me right this unwanted feature was introduced to camera one or two updates ago.
