This page will allow you to test your Digital Camera's shutter lag as follows:
1. Without pre-focus
- Turn your camera flash off
- Focus on the rotating image
- Take the picture just as the arrow is crossing the 0 at the top
- View the picture and record the time in seconds in the recorded image which is your shutter lag time
2. With pre-focus
- Turn your camera flash off
- Focus on the rotating image
- Depress your shutter halfway to pre-focus the camera
- Take the picture just as the arrow is crossing the 0 at the top
- View the picture and record the time in seconds in the recorded image which is your shutter lag time when pre-focusing
The time with pre-focusing should be less than when not pre-focused.
