Configuring the Camera to Help You Better Time Your Shots (Lag Correction)

There always is some unavoidable time lag between the point you press the shutter button and the point that the image is actually recorded. The “Lag Correction” feature lets you configure the camera to lessen or even eliminate this lag to help you better time your shots and get exactly the moment you want. With “Lag Correction”, you half-press the shutter button and compose the image you want to shoot. Then when you full-press the shutter button, the camera pre-records a total of 5 images, including four images of action that happened before you fully pressed the shutter button. After that, you can view the images on the monitor screen and select the one you want to keep.

1.In the REC mode, set the mode dial to b.

2.Press [SET].

3.Select “Lag Correction” and then press [SET].

4.With the camera pointed at the subject, half-press and hold the shutter button.

The camera will start pre-recording images at this time.

•If you release the half-pressed shutter button before pressing it the rest of the way down, all of the pre-recorded images currently in the buffer will be deleted.

5.When you are ready to shoot, press the shutter button all the way down.

After pre-recording is complete, one of the five images will appear on the monitor screen for about three seconds.

6.If you want to view all five of the pre-recorded images, press [SET] within about three seconds after a recorded image appears on the monitor screen.

•If you do not press [SET] within three seconds, the image displayed in step 5 will be saved automatically as the final image.
