TG-2 diaphragm doesn't close entirely.. normal?

Hi all,

First of all, happy Easter. This is my first post here, but not the first visit (the typical 'coming out' of a lurker : ), so I hope someone can help me out.

I managed to buy a TG-2 for a very good price (€100 less than the current market value) in a bonafide shop. So far so good. I found everything works like a charm (although USB charging took more than 3 hours the first time) and I've caused some friends' hearts to skip a beat when showing them my new toy and just letting it drop before they would put it back into my hands. OK, that's really not friendly.. But we had laughs together afterwards!

Now my point.. I noticed that when I shut it down, the diaphragm doesn't entirely close. A tiny 'circle' in the center stays open. Does anyone(/everyone) owning a TG-2 have the same? My X10 for instance closes completely (but that one has a fancier diaphragm).

I am quite an amateur with cameras, so if you're thinking "he wouldn't be asking about that standard thing, or would he?".. I probably am.

Many thanks in advance for any answer!

I have a TG-1 and it looks like what you describe.

I thought I had read somewhere the TG-1 and TG-2 have identical lenses, so I'm guessing this part will be the same too.. That probably means it's all OK. Thanks for the answer!
