Re: TG-06 and shutter speed

Hi Kelpdiver,

Thanks. The backscatter review (and info about the shutter speed workaround) was actually the one that convinced me to get the camera.

The TG-06 instruction manual also mentions this.

However, on a discussion in a different forum, a couple of people with the camera say this only works in flash mode - and that with ambient light the camera appears to ignore the selected shutter speed when their is less light.

I've emailed Olympus to see if they can shed light on this, but would be good to hear from anyone here who actually has the camera.

There are of course other options, Canon G7X ii and the Sony RX100 - which both look really good, but the housing is more expensive, and I understand that it isn't always easy (or impossible!) to get spare o-rings.

Of course, I could just go with a GoPro, which is much cheaper and simpler, but yes, poorer in quality.
