With an all-new original Signal Processing Engine that excels at high-speed processing the G 400 starts up in a mere 0.7 seconds*2, then it takes only 0.2 seconds more for auto-focus and auto-exposure measurement - you can turn it on and have the first shot taken in just 0.9 seconds. What's more, once the AF/AE measurements are complete, shutter release time lag is a virtually imperceptible 0.03 seconds. Another boost to overall speed is a lens retraction time of just 0.6 seconds*3. The entire process - turn on, shoot, and turn off - can be accomplished in snappy 1.5 seconds. When your chance to take that great shot arises, you won't miss it with this kind of performance.

An innovative Rapid AF system that combines external passive AF with CCD video AF technology achieves precise focus metering within approximately 0.2 seconds. Focus is fast and accurate even under varying shooting conditions thanks to an advanced original hybrid AF algorithm. Further, when shooting in auto mode or the Angel, Snap, or Sports program mode there's no need to half-press the shutter button to focus: simply press the shutter button and allow the external AF will take over and do the focusing for you. All of these advances mean you can focus faster, and capture moving subjects with greater reliability and precision.
Fast-moving subjects won't escape this camera's Super Continuous Mode. The shot interval is set quickly, and you can automatically shoot up to 3 frames in succession at a rate of 2.5 frames per second while holding the shutter button.
Even after you've taken a large number of pictures you can recall and view them quickly and easily. The last frame can be displayed in just 0.2 seconds. Review your shots anywhere, any time with maximum convenience.
High-speed recharging lets you take one flash shot after another with a recharge time of only about 4 seconds.
