[QUOTE="Dobivann, post: 180191, member: 15815"] Few days ago I bought D5100 and immediately found an issue: if I halfpress my D5100's shutter button it focuses just fine, but then - when I press it all the way down, it should IMMEDIATELY make an exposure. Instead of that, it keeps doing the same sound if when focusing and it takes the photo after like 0,5-5 seconds - it depends. Another thing I've noticed is that the warning question mark appears almost all the time saying [B]"Subject is too dark"[/B] or [B]"Lighting is poor, flash reccomended!"[/B] and for me it looks like this is what is stopping me from taking the picture (What the hell is that? It should appear in auto mode, but you know what you are doing when you use A, S or M mode. What would I do if I would like to take a night photo using tripod and long exposure?) I found that when I first focus (half press shutter button), then press AF-L and then press the shutter button all the way down, it takes the picture perfectly, immediately and how my D90 does. All that happens [B]even in MANUAL MODE [/B]and I do NOT have shutter delay enabled. Any suggestions what would it be? I'll be pleased for any help! [/QUOTE]
