Thought I'd jump in on this thread. Jesse is right about the
solution to the "delay" between snapping the shutter and taking
the shot. Press and hold the button half-way until the picture
un-freezes (or the green light stops flashing on the Sony FD-95)
then snap the shot whenever you're ready. The part I wanted to
add was to let you know that during the delay, the camera is
selecting the proper autofocus, aperature and f-stop. If you
preset some of these values, it should reduce the delay.
This is a handy way to "cheat" on where your camera is set. For
example, if you're taking a shot of a bright object, say a Ross's
Goose in sunlight, and you aim at the goose when you're setting
the auto-aperature and f-stop, the aperature will be very small
and you'll get a dark picture. If you aim at the grass, press
and hold the button halfway to get the autosettings, then pan
back to the goose and take the shot, you'll get a much better
pic. Check out the two sets of Ross's Goose pics on my website
to see what I mean (www-chaos.engr.utk.edu/~kde).
