After 1 it makes noise as if it is taking photo and I get a lot of people thinking the photo is over in that second only for it to take the photo. Is there a way to have it count down such as 3 2 (change from video mode to camera 1 and then take photo?</p></div>pb tag:help.sparkbooth.com,2010-04-06:Comment/481169022020-02-26T05:36:08Z2020-02-26T06:18:34ZKeep Countdown while switching from Video <div><p>Patrick,</p>
<p>I am not sure what you are asking...<br>
At the end of the count down, the software sends the command to the camera to take the photo (it is instant... no delay* ) [ * unless if you are using Auto focus, there could be a delay 1-3 second while the camera is focusing]</p></div>Joe Connelltag:help.sparkbooth.com,2010-04-06:Comment/481169022020-02-26T05:38:37Z2020-02-26T06:18:34ZKeep Countdown while switching from Video <div><p>There is a delay after the last second and a switch from video mode to<br>
manually mode. 3 seconds is really 5.</p></div>Foggy Bay Photostag:help.sparkbooth.com,2010-04-06:Comment/481169022020-02-26T06:08:32Z2020-02-26T06:18:34ZKeep Countdown while switching from Video <div><p>I do not understand what you mean. Can you record a video showing what is<br>
happening?</p></div>Johntag:help.sparkbooth.com,2010-04-06:Comment/481169022020-02-26T06:17:57Z2020-02-26T06:18:33ZKeep Countdown while switching from Video <div><p>Are you referring to live view being switched off before it takes a photo?<br>
If so, you can disable that by unchecking the setting under camera settings<br>
(press ctrl-3 to display) See screenshot.</p></div>John
