possibly trying to steel itself for another lame composition. I gave it up
after 3 pictures, and then tried to reset it to work faster. I don't know
about you, but the only time I want to scan a menu is when it features
garlic bread to start and a decent dessert to finish. I closed the camera
up and searched for lunch..................
It's not only digital cameras that do this. I owned for a week a very neat
pocket size Leica 35mm film camera with a zoom lens. I don't remember its
model name. (Something like ZX perhaps?)
I thought it would be the ideal camera to take along with me every day. But..
Even prefocussing by half-depressing the shutter release did practically
nothing to solve a quite bizarre delay, in which time all sorts of things
could happen. It took very good pictures of static subjects, though.
