What is the fastest shutter speed without getting black bar on the picture?

I have used this with the Canon 7D with Max sync of 1/250s but still had a thin sliver of blackness so I dropped the speed down to 1/200s. So from my experience with it.... 1/200s. I don't think this trigger supports HSS mode. version 2 of this trigger should support sync speed up to 1/320s.

The lag can be as much as 15-20 seconds if you are using certain scene modes - for instance night shots. That is the primary reason I sold this camera on ebay a few months after I got it. It takes great photos, and some of the scene modes - like museum - are great, but I missed a ton of cool opportunities in the night markets in China because of slow processing. Much slower, in fact, that my 2005 era canon digital elph that I had hoped this camera would replace. :-/

You can set the synch speed at 1/125 and you should be fine. Also check your curtain on the camera. Sometimes people have the curtain set to the beginning of the flash and some at the end. Experiment tithe that if the 1/125 is problematic. A fast shutter isn't really necessary.

Isabella, in manual (M) mode, the shutter speed on the P7700 can be set from 1/4000 to 60 seconds. There is no bulb (B) setting as we used to see in the older Nikon 35mm film cameras.

I'd be curious to know as well. The 720SW had a fairly slow shutter, and one had to really concentrate to get a non-blurry photo. Unless, you enabled the stabilization, and then the photo got a little grainy... Anybody have feedback on that?

The sx260 doesn't have shutter lag but it has picture lag. This it's where it takes a little too long to wait between repetitive shots

I have no complaints. There is a mode setting for fast action which sets a relatively higher ISO speed and opens up the F stop to maximize the shutter speed. And of course, if you halfway depress the shutter, it virtually eliminates shutter lag.

Yes, in M (Manual) mode, you can set the shutter speed to as slow as 30 seconds.

The SX260 takes excellent low light/no flash pictures. It has a special setting on the function wheel on the back for just this. It actually takes 4 quick pictures with one push of the shutter and then overlays/combines them to come up with an excellent picture. Just remember to hold the camera very still until the 4 "clicks" stop...about 1-2 seconds. For me, it is one of the best features.

I think it is only 30 frames a second. But it is really a good camera for the money. I have two of them and may get two more.

Try setting the camera to Shutter Priority and setting the shutter speed to 1/30 or faster. If the images are too dark set the ISO to a faster setting.

I'm not sure of the exact time of the shutter lag, but I'd guess it's around a 1/4 second, maybe a tad longer. I've only had a couple situations where I wished it had no lag at all, but it does have a little lag. Much shorter than the other point-and-shot digital cameras I've had. I think about the only way to eliminate ANY lag is to go with a digital SLR, but their bulk/weight doesn't work for me for vacation snapshots.

No, it's quite slow. I recommend you spend a little more $ and get a Canon DSLR that can take at least 10 frames within a second.

Hi Janie the Canon SX50 is one of the fastest in its class. Just compare the data of the cameras that you have in your focus. It is also very remarkable that you may take 13 frames per second. That feature is fantastic when you take pictures from people, portraits or animals. It is very key that you invest in a high speed memory card (just search for the comparison charts in the web). The faster the card the faster your camera will be ready for the next shot or even the next series of chosts. have fun Joerg

Two thing may remedy your situation: 1. Use flash if the subject isn't too far. 2. Select SPORTS mode to increase the shutter speed.

Its better than most cameras. Especially if you hold the button down halfway first and let the camera focus first, then the shutter lag is almost non-existent. If you're pushing the button all the way without pre-focusing, it can take a few seconds for the camera to focus and then take.

The shutter is fast so yes, but the image quality is really grainy and not that great.
