How do I use the point and shoot on the Panasonic TZ5??

Question

I want to take faster pictures while still using the flash. What mode will help me achieve that? Where's the point and shoot on the tz5?

Answer 1

Your camera IS a point and shoot camera.  What you are fighting is something called shutter lag ... all P&S cameras have this problem to some extent or another.

Answer 2

Sounds like you're trying to use burst mode with flash.  The flash takes time to power up - burst mode is not recommended with flash on.
