Hi i have had the Centrios DSC-3020 digital camera for a while now, but i am having a minor problem. after i take a picture there is a green light that flashes i can only take the next picture when it stops the problem is that the green light takes several moments to stop flashing...this gets very annoying.... i have seen other digital cameras which do not take ne time at all for the next picture is there ne way i can fix this....pls help

Thank you

The flashing lamp indicates one of 2 things, the time it takes for the image to transfer from the camera chip to the memory and the time it takes for the flash to recharge and reset. (If the flash was used).

In all it adds up to the "lag" between shots.
Faster cameras use more speedy CPU's and can move data quicker.
Your Centrios is a "low end" consumer camera that will have very average lag.

Apart from having good batteries (which can reduce flash recharge lag) and a memory card at least equal or better than the speed of the camera "write" ability, there is nothing you can do apart from buying a more expensive model with shorter lag.

If you aren’t using flash when that happens you might look in the camera menu for “format”. Cameras slow down after long periods of just erasing photos rather than formatting the card. I always format to erase so the camera stays snappy.
