Samsung Galaxy S5 camera takes a long time to release

The Samsung Galaxy S5 is built with one of the best and fastest cameras. Nevertheless, it can happen to you that it takes a long time from pressing the shutter-release until taking the photo.

However, the delay of the camera after triggering has no cause in the hardware, but much more on the software and the correct settings.

The reason for the delayed release of pictures with the camera of the Samsung Galaxy S5 is due to the "Image Stabilizer". The stabilizer waits so long to capture the image until the hand and the object to be photographed is fairly quiet and calm.

This "Image Stabilizer" option must be disabled so pictures with the camera of the Samsung Galaxy S5 can be triggered faster, " . This works as follows:

Open from the home screen the camera app on your Samsung Galaxy S5. Tap now on the gear icon at the top of the screen. The settings of the will camera open. You now see several tiles, one of which is called "Image Stabilization".

This must now be disabled by tapping.

That's it. If you now take pictures with the Samsung Galaxy S5, then this should be triggered much faster than was previously was the case. The shutter lag should now correspond to the technical capabilities of the camera of the Samsung Galaxy S5.
