If you quickly glance at a clock(it's easier to notice with an analog clock but anything with seconds will work) the clock will appear to freeze in place for a second before resuming.
What's happening is even more ridiculous than your brain copypasting the last frame you saw, infact it's doing the exact opposite. It's copying the NEXT frame you WILL SEE back into the last half second and then rearranging your perception of the order of events so it seems you instantly moved and focused your eyes even though in reality it took at least half a second.
There's a similar illusion where you can tap yourself on the foot and immediately feel it, even though it's been proven it takes up to a full 1.5 SECONDS for the nerve impulse to actually reach your brain if you have your eyes closed. So you brain is just seeing your foot get touched, imagining the sensation, suppressing the actual nerve sensation, and then amazingly enough REWRITING YOUR MEMORY with eh nerve impulse when it finally arrives to update your imagined feeling to the actual one.
This is how for example you can stab someone in the foot with a fake knife and they'll instantly feel a sharp pain.
Other crazy shit goes down with time too, like how all your senses are actually at different time delays due to nerve length and brain processing speeds, but your brain automatically reorders and adjusts everything so you perceive them acting synchronously. In other words your perception of "now" is actually a floating illusion of the last few seconds created through a combination of extrapolated imagination, retroactive perception, and short term memory loss.
