Does anyone else who shoots from the hip find the shutter release in snap mode results in a lot of missed pics? When I say snap mode I don't mean fullpress snap..
I'm missing 50% of the shots I take and I'm buggered if I know the cause. I thought perhaps there was a setting in the menus that if the criteria wasn't met then the picture wasn't taken? Then I considered the odd shape of the shutter release and thought I might not be pushing the centre of the button and thus rocking the button rather than pressing it. So I tried to make a special effort to press the button firmly and that upped the shots I got but only by a small margin.
Recently I switched to multi area focus mode with 2.5m fullpress snap and that worked a treat as far as getting the shot goes but I'd like to get similar results with the different snap modes because I'm not a fan on letting the camera choose the focus point when shooting street.
That aside, I'm loving the camera and my LX5 has not been used since.
I'm considering getting the hood and some filters. Anyone got these already and regret it? Thanks
