What you describe is the pause whilst the camera locks in on the auto-focus - try using the
MF button to lock it before taking the shot (not in auto mode). Use Program (P) Mode or `Av`
or `Tv` instead of Auto & then select the best settings. You may need to play around with
the different settings to get the best idea of how to use them.

What is it you think is `missing` ?
