Lag when taking pictures??

Turning off HDR helps a lot. Only set HDR to ON or Auto when you actually need HDR.

you’ll need to enable access to the hidden “Developer options” menu on your Android phone. To do that, simply tap the “About phone” option in Settings. Then tap “Build number” seven times and you’re done. Now you can just back out to the main Settings menu and you’ll find Developer options somewhere near the bottom of the list.

==>Now that you’re done with that part, let the real fun begins. Tap the new Developer options menu you just enabled and scroll until you see the following three settings (note that they may be located within an “Advanced” subsection):

Window animation scale
Transition animation scale
Animator animation scale

==>Did you see them? By default, each of those three options is set to “1x” but tapping them and changing them to “.5x” will dramatically speed up your phone. This harmless tweak forces the device to speed up all transition animations, and the entire user experience is faster and smoother as a result

I've been having issues with this as well. I tried this developer options thing and it's still lagging. Even at .5x or completely off. I switched all of them tried them all and it still lags. What would I try next?

The developer options will have no effect on the camera activity.

Describe in great detail the conditions that this lag happens under:
Manual or auto exposure for the camera?
What kind of scene is it?
How much light is there in the scene?
What kind of light?
Is the subject moving?
Is the camera trying for an auto-lock on the focus or are you tapping on the screen to help the camera find the subject?

Can you attach an example image, unedited, not resized with all the EXIF data included?
