The camera takes 3 seconds to switch on. It takes roughly 4.5 seconds to switch on, focus and take the photo. Focusing is quick in average light at around 0.4 – 0.5 seconds set to wide angle, but slower when using macro. Shutter response is fairly quick at around 0.1 – 0.2 seconds. Shot to shot time is average at around 2.0 seconds between shots (with review switched on), with flash switched on this shot to shot time is around 10 seconds. Continuous shooting allows you to take 4 shots at roughly 1 frame every two seconds (flash not an option). Playback mode is fairly quick, and it’s easy to zoom up to 5x on your last shot and check for blur with the zoom control. Moving from picture to picture is very quick, however it shows you a blurred version first and then shows you a sharper version a second later. Moving around the different menu options is rapid. The screen updates in photo mode are generally very quick and smooth.

Exposure can be hit and miss with this camera when outside on bright sunny days, it can however produce some excellent colours, and very good macro photos on duller days. Purple fringing was quite bad in high contrast areas near picture corners, and will become more noticeable, on prints larger than A4. This is a lens quality issue, which becomes more exaggerated the higher the resolution of the picture. The camera was generally competent at focusing. I noticed slight barreling but no pincushion distortion. There is a good range of image sizes, and compression options, and a choice of two aspect ratios. Auto white balance seemed to be good. The camera gives you good options to customise images – there are three sharpness and metering settings and full manual exposure, for example. The more experienced photographer should find the manual options quite useful. The camera will display a shaking hand, to warn you could end up with blurry pictures, especially in low light, or when using the zoom.
