I just got mine so I can't help you there. There isn't even an entry in the book about how to do it. But the one thing I do notice is that there is that 2 - 3 second delay between pushing the button and the snapping of the shutter. I guess that's one of those things you have to adapt to. Now so far I've only taken pictures in less than ideal situations, i.e., not well lit. Maybe it works better in better light.
