Speed

We took some photos to test the response of the camera, from the opening of the first photo, turn over each one in turn, focus speed, etc.... We have some photos and then use average to ensure the accuracy and consistency, makes it easy to compare with other cameras.

·         Shutter Response: 0.05

·         Wide - Focus / Shutter Response: 0.25

·         Full zoom - Focus / Shutter Response: 0.25

·         Switch on Time to Taking a photo: 0.6

·         Shot to Shot without Flash: 0.5

·         Shot to Shot with Flash: 1.0

·         Continuous Shooting - JPEG: 6fps (13 shots)

·         Continuous Shooting - Flash: N/A

The focus and shutter response process are both quick, and the camera has a very good switch on time, as well as shot to shot. We can shoot at 6fps when shooting JPEG or RAW.
