Re: Problems Incountered With My New Olympus 80-80 Wide Angle:

Posted by Impoverished Audiophile on May 4, 2004 at 10:31:10:
Hello all,
Please tolerate my digi-newbie questions and comments.
Is the problem Vinylly is referring to above known as "shutter lag?"
If so, is the only way around it, at the moment, using a "pro" quality digital SLR?
If this is the case, there is NO WAY I'll switch to digital..... I want the film to be exposed WHEN I fire the shutter, not sometime down the road.
This "shutter lag" must make "fleeting" shots of animate objects (sports, candids, etc.) virtually impossible.
No thank you!
