Storing delay

[Alan Platt]

New XT5 setting up. I get a delayed storing image of 2 card before I can take anther shot in S.

We need more info before we can post a helpful answer. Let us know the type and speed of the cards you are using.

The usual reason for a storing delay is a non-zero setting of Clarity - but as jlmphotos says more information would be useful

Oh good point.  As does any "chrome" effect...

I have heard that if clarity is not 0 then saves will be delayed.

Also, make sure you don't have the drive dial set to HDR or ADV 😜

This was the answer for me. I have had issues with this dial…as in bumping it unintentionally and suddenly it’s storing (like this) or bursting (another time). Yes, I should know my settings but when you’re grabbing your camera for a quick shot it would be great if it came out of the case with the same settings it went into it with.

Clarity did it for me as well.

The type and speed of the memory card you’re using can affect the storing speed. Make sure you’re using a compatible and high-speed memory card.

If you're shooting in single shot you can tell whether its a slow card or clarity:

- a slow card won't prevent you from taking further shots (images are buffered during the card write)

- clarity will block further shots until the processing is complete (and will show a Storing message on the screen).

For continuous bursts the card speed is more important (as the buffer can be filled) but you can't use Clarity in a continuous burst.
