Why does my Nikon COOLPIX S205 take so long to save images?
If your Nikon Digital Camera takes a long time to save images, it could be due to the noise reduction function being in operation; wait for it to finish. It might also be because the flash mode is set to V (auto with red-eye reduction), so change the flash mode. Additionally, the skin softening function may be applied while shooting, so turn it off.
How to reduce noise (bright pixels) in images from my Nikon Digital Camera?
