I was playing around with the settings on my camera and now every time I take a picture, the shutter takes forever to reopen. This happens in every setting, including the Scene settings and Auto mode. I'm not sure what I did but I can't seem to figure out a way to fix it. Is there a reset button or something somewhere???
Please help me!!! |

There should be a reset button to defaults in the menu but remember to check your date and time afterwards |

At the end of all the settings, go to the reset default. That should help. |

That sounds like you might have long-exposure Noise Reduction on, which should double your exposure time--check to see if that setting is on? |

He might be right - I hope for ya. I just put the camera in AUTO mode and turned the ANTI-SHOCK setting to 8 secs. Go to MENU, select the camera2 (on the left), arrow right then scroll down and you will see the anti-shock feature. |
