Do I have a setting wrong or something?

Has anyone had a long camera lag only some of the time? I haven't pin pointed it down but most of the time it takes the pic instantly but others it shows a message to hold camera still till it shoots the pic. Obviously I prefer it taking it instantly so what's the deal? Is it low light situations?

Yes. The S5 has a combined Image Stabilization/Night mode. When it gives you that message, you'll notice a small icon in the corner with a moon, a star, and a hand, indicating that it has gone into stabilization/night mode due to lack of ambient light. You can force instant shutter by disabling image stabilization.
