That happens to me too. Where do you store your pics? If you have a removable storage and your files go there then you have to tweak your phone settings and let the photo app store straight to the phone storage.

Just read your comment on the A71. I mentioned earlier I had the same problem so I started testing and I found that I was leaving my thumb on the shutter too long. It looks like it's taking a photo because the screen flashes a bit. When I did a quicker/lighter thumb press it took the picture each and every time. I've already missed the shot I wanted a number of times but now I have it figured out. Now, If I can only remember it........
