Hi All,

I attended a wedding yesterday and was busy taking photos and even some short videos.

Sometimes, the shutter wouldn't get triggered - I kept pressing for a few

awkward seconds... Is this a common issue?

New to videos, I now see that a tripod is necessary. And in tele mode,

the video "quality" is atrocious.

Here's the result - one file I somehow screwed up as it is no longer in the original file format.

Guys, back up your files!!

Apart from that, I kind of like the G-10 and think the image quality isn't bad as long as the ISO setting is low.

Cheers, Chris

Couple of things. Were you using a flash often? As the battery runs down, charge time for the flash goes up and will not allow you to shoot if the flash is needed in the shot.

Second, possibly a slow memory card and the buffer is writing out to it at those slow to respond moments. A good high speed memory card will help there, especially with the size of images the G-10 will make, and especially in RAW mode. Not sure which mode you were using, fine, medium, RAW RAW+JPEG, but that makes a large difference in writing to the card and slower for the camera to be ready for the next shot.

Hi Chris,

Were you using the internal flash?
