Responds rapidly to ensure comfortable use

You'll never miss a moment because the DiMAGE G530 is ready to shoot when you are—startup time is amazingly short, approx. 0.8 seconds after you slide open the lens cover. To focus, you simply press the shutter button halfway and the camera's rapid autofocusing is done in approx. 0.25 seconds only. Then press the shutter button all the way and you've captured your image, without even noticing the 0.03 second shutter release time lag. Such stress-free operation is made possible by the camera's exclusive, high-speed Signal Processing Engine.
