lol i just figured it out, i set iso to 400 and the lag was gone
it was because my iso was at 80

but never the less, I want to be able to take pics at iso 80, flash off with no shutter lag

Well, that will depend on the amount of light available to take a photo. If there is sufficient light, the camera should capture an image. If there isn't, it will give you a warning of camera shake but will then take the photo. The shutter lag you are describing sounds like a long exposure, not that the shutter is taking a moment to open. A 1/2 second exposure can seem like a long time.

I agree, if you are in daylight you shouldn't be able to tell the difference between iso-80 and iso-800, without looking at the actual shutter speed of course.. I think he is playing with the new camera indoors and getting a long exposure not lag,, probably getting some blurry images as well..

exactly

the only way to fix this is to set a higher iso?

Pretty much, you can try using larger aperture, but of course using the flash will be more effective... Even a DSLR wouldn't be able to take such a shot in a dim room at iso-80 Probably not even with a 1.4 aperture and IS..
