The delays in digital still cameras due to the lag between the press of the shutter release and the shutter opening and due to the reaction time of the photographer are compensated for by continuously capturing and storing images and by selecting a desired one of the images based on the lags. Upon processing an indication from the photographer, the camera begins capturing images at regular images and stores the most recent images in a first-in first-out buffer. At a second indication from the photographer, the camera selects, in accordance with the lags, the image in the buffer a fixed amount of time prior to the second indication for further processing. In this way, both the delay due to human reaction time and the delay due to shutter lag have been compensated for.
