Advertisement Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 Hi Findus, Take a look here Shutterlag on D-lux 3. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
rob_x2004 Posted October 1, 2006 Share #2 Posted October 1, 2006 I dont think it has one. Are you talking about the time it might take to AF in different situations? Then it depends on the situation. Some tech head will tell you with the Venus engine 11 shutter release time used to be around 0.01 seconds, so you can see your question is pretty meaningless as it stands.

Findus Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share #3 Posted October 2, 2006 To people with a certain kind of attitude all questions are pretty meaningless... ... maybe I ask something which is generally known by everyone but me, so when I ask and I get an answer I will also know.... quite an enhancement to mankind wouldn't you think ?

albertwang Posted October 2, 2006 Share #4 Posted October 2, 2006 I don't think that there is any. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted October 2, 2006 Share #5 Posted October 2, 2006 Michaela - I assume that you essentially want to know if you will catch what you want to with the camera, or if for various reasons the camera doesn't take the picture quite as quickly after you've pressed the shutter button as you expected. With my D2, the lag is less than other non-DSLR cameras, but still often too long. You can reduce that time by doing as much of the work as you can for the camera (focus instead of letting it focus for you, for example, and probably why Rob’s short answer was a bit incomplete). Forum members timed M6 shutter response vs. D2 shutter response (with and without auto focus) and found that the M6 was faster. Perhaps if you rephrase your question to what seems obvious to me, but perhaps I’m reading too much into it, and ask, ”Compared to the M7 or R9, what is the relative speed of the D-Lux-3 shutter response from the moment you depress the button all the way, both with and without auto focus turned on”. Hopefully somebody out there will know. If not now, I suspect that Sean Reaid will know and report on it once he tests the camera. BTW: My C-Lux 1 (well, FX01 really) is usually instantaneous, and that's a lesser, older camera than the D-Lux-3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
firoze Posted October 2, 2006 Share #6 Posted October 2, 2006 I tried out the DL3 at Photokina. The time it takes to lock focus when the shutter is half-pressed is quite quick - faster than the DL2. From focus-lock to exposure (i.e. from half-press to full-press) it is virtually instantaneous. Read more about this in the review of the Pana LX2 here: DCRP Review: Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2 Regards.

adcalonte Posted October 2, 2006 Share #7 Posted October 2, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi there! After trying the dlux 3 during photkina... do you have sample images? Know if it handles noise better than d-lux 3 (i.e. less smeared effect?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

marknorton Posted October 3, 2006 Share #9 Posted October 3, 2006 Doesn't the lag depend on whether you are using viewfinder mode or live preview mode? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterb Posted October 3, 2006 Share #10 Posted October 3, 2006 I have the Lumix LX1 and keep it 'silent'. But I have to admit, from the time I press the button until I hear (yes I hear) the silent whooooosh of the shutter firing, it's pretty darn quick. So I would assume the LX2/D-Lux 3 would be the same if not faster. (My guess is the same.) I have the DIgilux 2 and while Stu stated above that it's faster than any non-DSLR camera, I have to disagree. While the camera would certainly 'fire' upon pressing the button, that's not what I observed taking place. In the horrid EVF I did see what amounted to a 'capture'. But when I looked into the lens to observe what the process was after the button was pushed (and focus locked), what I saw was an excruciatingly slow process of watching the iris stopping down then an almost slow motion shutter firing (like an old Brownie Hawkeye camera!). Not the rapidity of an aperture quickly stopped down, shutter firing and returning you get in an SLR, and certainly not the speed made possible from an M rangefinder which has ONLY the shutter to fire (the aperture is already down). So with the Digilux 2 I was flabbergasted. But it explained why so many 'decisive' moments taken with the camera were often a little late on the draw.

firoze Posted October 3, 2006 Share #11 Posted October 3, 2006 Mark, Are you confusing the Digilux 3 with the D-Lux 3? There is no viewfinder on the D-Lux 3... Regards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
