There's little you can do. To help the shutter lag, turn off the red-eye reduction feature, and keep the shutter half-pressed so that the camera is always focused and maybe the image sensor cleared to record. But otherwise there's nothing to do about the shutter lag of your point & shoot digital. You are also doomed with respect to stopping motion. The Finepix 2600 has a sensitivity equivalent to ISO 100 film, and you cannot change it. On slow sync your photos are very nicely exposed, foreground and background, but the shutter speed is too slow to stop subject motion. To stop motion, the most you can do is select flash at the camera's highest sync shutter speed, and be close enough to the action that the relatively weak built-in flash is within its working range. You will be able to freeze most motion, at the expense of your background going dark/black.

Just a better camera and stronger flash.

Upgrade to a camera like the Minolta A1 -- very fast AF, and you will see a big difference. Plus, using an external flash will help greatly. However, you hit the nail on the head -- no shutter lag in film cameras -- a definite problem with point-n-shoot digis.
