EOS 70D Shutter Lag

[eholmes94]

Bought my EOS 70D a couple months ago and it has been working great until recently. Now, my shutter lag is a few seconds long. I've checked the drive mode and it is in single shutter mode, not self-timer (however, I have used the self-timer recently). I manually focus all of my pictures. HELP! The pictures are coming out blurry everytime and it's getting extremely frustrating.

Thanks,

Emily

Most likely it is in 2 sec timer mode or mirror lock up mode. Why are you using manual focus?

I've checked both modes and the camera is not in either.

I focus manually because I like to create my own shot.

Does it act the same if you use AF rather than MF?
