There is always a slight (sometimes minimal) delay between pressing the button and the shot being taken. The trick I learned when I was for example taking lots of tennis shots, where getting the ball in the frame made the difference between a mundane shot and a brilliant one, was to watch carefully every single second and press the shutter just before the ball comes into view. This takes practice and of course some knowledge of the sport. The ball travels very quickly and following it to try to take the shot the split second you see it hit the racquet doesn't often (if ever) work. You have to focus on the racquet, 'learn' the timing from hearing the other player hit the ball, and press just before it comes into view! It's a little easier trying to get the ball on the racquet just as someone serves, because then you are watching and not listening to, just one player. You do get some great shots like this though. And of course you don't waste miles of film with failed shots these days. Patty It also halps to anticipate shutter lag even when you are in manual mode.
