OptioS1

The pixel mapping feature allows the camera to check and adjust the CCD and image processing functions. It is not necessary to operate this function frequently. Approximately once a year is recommended. Wait at least one minute after taking or viewing pictures to allow the pixel mapping function to perform properly. If you turn the camera off during pixel mapping, start again.
Select [PIXEL MAPPING] and when [START] is displayed, press on.

I'm unable to find a specification for the shutter lag time, either for this camera or the S1, hence the query.

“We must avoid however, snapping away, shooting quickly and without thought, overloading ourselves with unnecessary images that clutter our memory and diminish the clarity of the whole.” - Henri Cartier-Bresson -
I was also thinking that, as her birthday is coming up, if the S1 didn't have the same lag as the Olympus X785 then this would be a good oportunity to change

Most recent Pentax compacts either have this function, or they have proper sensor-shift SR. The latter is better and certainly faster. The former does slow the camera down quite a bit.
Do you know what the S1 has (I suspect from it's size it might also be similar)?

I think that's sorted then. I guess there's no need to ask if you'd recomend it for a "handbag" camera.

Sometime back I asked about shutter lag on my wifes Olympus compact, which is decidedly slow. In fact our 3 year old grand daughter has started to play the same games as my son, ie wait until the shutter fires then move out of shot -- result no one there but a grinning little girl, out of shot.
It's now got to the stage where we've decided to change it so...
How does the Optio S1 perform in that respect.
