Q: QuestionI'm concerned with lag time from when shutter is pressed and image is taken. I read one review where this was a problem on the SX740. I got rid of a Canon SureShot several years ago because of this very issue. Has anyone else experienced this?

Asked 6 years ago by Gigi08.

• A:Answer I did not have trouble. Obviously it is not as fast as an SLR camera, but I had no problem in taking shots in the amount of time I desired.

Q: QuestionThis camera was on Amazon for less money & it included accessories i.e. case, battery, tripod, memory card, etc. Two people had to return it and the camera wasn't under warranty because Canon said it shouldn't have been sold in the USA. Anyone experience?

Asked 5 years ago by RosL.

• A:Answer No issues with my camera. I absolutely love it & I’m covered under Best Buy warranty if something happens. I can take it back & get a new one or put my money towards another camera. Amazon maybe cheaper but u will only get 30 days with them. Hope this helps

Q: QuestionI’m having a Heck of a time getting my camera paired with my phone to transfer photos to phone from the phone.

Asked 5 years ago by Eclaire.

• A:Answer Make sure you have the Canon Camera Connect app on your phone. Make sure both the phone and camera are connected to the same WiFi network. Once this is done, push the WiFi connect button on the camera. It will then search for devices. Once it discovers it, you select it and name it. From that point on it will automatically recognize your phone. It works great once it is connected. However, if your phone goes to sleep while connected, it will disconnect with the camera. The app MUST be open on your phone the whole time you are using it.

Q: QuestionWouldn't the pop up flash be in the way of the selfie screen?

Asked 5 years ago by Pamla.

• A:Answer The flash does pop up in front of the screen a little but it won't stop you from seeing the screen or show up in the picture because the selfie would still be taken with the lens.
