Using Auto Focus will delay taking the photo because when it receives the command from the software, it now had to focus then take the photo. This is why it is recommended to always use Manual focus.</p>
<p>If you have a camera that is NOT using auto focus and it is not taking the photo INSTANTLY after the command is send from the software, that is a camera issue that the software does not have any control over.</p></div>Joe Connell
