X-S10 storing time between two images


Zababo

Recommended Posts

I’ve a just bought an X-S 10 and I am surprised by the time the camera is busy between two images in still/single mode. During this time the viewer and the screen are blind with this message “storing”. 

My X-H1 use about half a second for “processing”. My X-S10 needs one to two seconds for “storing”. It’s absolutely too long. 

I shoot in raw, with SDHc cards (95Mbs/s) just formatted in the camera. Changing of card, still SDHC, change nothing. Camera firmware is updated and I use the A mode. 
In burst mode, there is no problem: The screen keep usefull and there is no “storing” time after 6 to 8 raw images in about 2sec. 
In my mind, the ram buffer should be used in any shooting mode, not only in burst mode.

Is it a usual phenomenon or a specific problem with this camera?

Hi Zababo
I have no solution regrettably but can agree with all your comments and frustration. Its not the Clarity setting, been there done that,  as you say I just use Burst mode to get round it, especially for Portraits or Street. I think you will find its also a lot faster when camera is set to Manual mode, so it must be something in the default Auto setting!!!

Solution is to set Clarity off to "0", but that only works in Manual mode. What abaout AUTO? Clarity is blocked, it can't be change and the camera is terribly slow.

Is it always slow? Is it only slow in Auto mode? Are there specific situations when it is slow?

What do you mean by "camera is terribly slow"? DO you mean when writing to the card? Does the light flash when it is slow?

What card do you have?

It is slow in manual mode when using "clarity" (it's ok) and randomly in AUTO mode (in AUTO the clarity option is grey, can't be change, no flash using) . Sometimes from the first shot, simetimes every few shots, sometimes several shots in a row. The screen is black and the message "storing" is displayed. This takes about 2 seconds. The light is then red. The card used is SAMSUNG Pro Plus SDXC 256GB (UHS-I / U3, V30).

The only ways I can get the camera to show the "storing" message while it writes is to set either Clarity or HDR - neither of which can be selected in full auto mode. Even a very slow card does not show that message. I'm out of ideas.

Perhaps you could post a link to a file when this occurs (straight out of camera) so that we can see all of your settings.

I have exactly the same behavior since the day I bough X-S10. Shooting on auto in bright condition (basically any sunny day) is very unpleasant because of this delay.

I didn't find any workaround. The only one is choosing "P" mode which is a bit less "auto" and doesn't have this problem.

I was very disappointment because X-S10 was marketed a bit for those that want to start photography and not for hardcore "only manual setting" users, yet the default experience with the simplest "auto" mode has this long delay after shooting a photo.

    • Seconding this! Would be nice to preview a desqueezed image in camera + output it via HDMI.
    • I found my answer. Actually you can assign the profile from a .dng conversion but not from a .tiff conversion. I hadn’t double checked the .dng option.
    • There's no implied threat. I'm just saying that you're going about things the wrong way. Now you're throwing conspiracy theories and mistresses in and, unaccountably for a photographer's forum, the word "buggery". Complaining and nagging may work for you, but I don't see why innocent posters here should be caught in your crossfire. If you want manual shooting, I'm with you. This is my first digital camera. In all of the various bodies adorning my shelf I haven't put a battery in any in over a decade except where the camera simply won't work without the presence of one. People have actually offered me high-spec DSLRs as they upgraded, but this one was the first one I wanted. I've had to change my MO massively in every way. I accept that, because it comes close to realising everything I need from it. Not 100%, but close.  Y'see, I get the fact that the manufacturers have a huge pool of customers to satisfy and as one of them I know and accept that they're not designing a custom camera for me alone. I accept that and I get on with it.  The solution you were offered is not a fudge or a workaround. It is a logical exploitation of a design feature of the camera: the ability to assign commonly-used functions to a button. That is an excellent customisation option. I'm going to gradually exploit that as I gain experience with the machine and learn what I need most readily at my fingertips.
