Re: Close Examination of Fuji X-Series Lag Time

Hi Cass,

I did some quick checks with my XE1 and the 18-55 at around 35mm and everything set to manual: focus, aperture, speed and ISO.  I got results consistent with yours, but what I did was just a quick check. The shutter lag is

120 ms at maximum aperture.

240 ms at f/11.

450 ms at f/11 just following refocus.

The following sample is the worse case I got (450 ms). It shows the camera sounds at f/11 just after a sight refocus.  The first sound is the trigger.  The shutter speed was 1/2 s.  Note that there is a long period without much activity before the shutter gets into action.

Shutter lag of the XE1 with the 18-55 at 35.8mm, f/11, 1/2s exposure just following a focus adjustment.

I am surprised to see that the shutter lag with a manual lens is close to the lag with the 18-55 at f/11.
