I have noticed that many folks using digital cameras are not
aware that you can greatly reduce this problem by half depressing
the shutter in anticipation of the shot. This gets the focus and
exposure functions out of the way. Many low cost cameras can even
take a quick shot using this method.
The other thing which substantially reduces the time required to take
an unanticipated shot is to set the focus on "infinite".
Nothing we ever take photos of in gliders is ever close enough to
need anything except infinite.
If you have a camera which also lets you manually set the exposure,
then the time taken to capture an image is fast regardless of whether
you start with the button half-depressed or not, which is great for
capturing the kind of spur-of-the-moment rapid reaction shots which
make for the best kinds of photos.
