I've read all the posts about turning off the camera timer.

I've read all the posts about turning off the camera timer.
Please don't give me the usual advice about turning off the camera timer.
Please don't tell me to touch the third icon from the left and set it to no countdown. I've done this. Many times.
Yes, I have the latest software update(s).
Sometimes when I take a picture it's instantaneous. Sometimes when I take a picture the timer kicks in even if I'm in the exact same position and under the exact same lighting conditions.
Why? And how can I fix it?
Yes, I have the latest software update(s).

My camera does exactly what it wants to do and I need to know how to make it do what I want it to do.

Can anyone suggest a novel new approach? You can get mad at me for my repetition if you want to. I've been on enough forums/fora to know that people don't read before they respond. I'm trying to get someone to actually think and respond appropriately. For those of you who may do this, thank you.

Joshuave I figured out mostly by accident that if I moved the camera just 2 or 3 inches farther away from the subject the problem stopped happening. I don't have any explanation. It's just what worked for me. Believe me, buddy, I relate to your frustration and sympathize. But try my half-assed "solution" and let me know if it works for you. It did for me and saved my sanity. I wish the same for you.
