I can.  First, make the camera stay in focus while zooming in while shooting video.  Second, eliminate the purple spot caused by lens flare under certain conditions.  And third, while I have not ...

Every once in a while you will just get a bad camera.  That happened to me with my TG-Tracker. The replacement has worked great.

Just on a hunch, try snapping a picture without an image and see what happens.

Handbrake no longer functions with my Mac OS.  But Wondershare also makes a nice converter.

I use Adobe Premier elements for editing.  I like to burn my video to DVD and .mov is the format that works best for me.  Premier Elements will save your video in different formats and file sizes.

When I checked my camera, one of the custom menus allowed me to change ISO and the other was in auto.  I think that you may have a defective camera. I recommend contacting B&H to see what they can ...

I just tried to recreate with my camera what you are describing and could not.  I could easily change ISO in Program and Aperture modes.  The two modes in which I could not change ISO were ...

Chances are you are in full auto mode.  In this setting, your options to change such things as ISO are over-ridden.

The dial on the top right is for exposure compensation.  That is why turning it will lighten or darken the image.  If you set the dial on the back to "P" or program mode, the camera will ...

I also have a TG-5 and have noticed over-exposure in bright light. You can dial in a bit of exposure compensation. However, there is a difference in contrast between the OLED screen on the camera ...

I got the specs that I gave you from the DPREVIEW link you included.

If the form-factor works, I think it should be used again.  But there are many improvements on the LX100 ii including a faster lens (at least wide open), a bigger and brighter LCD that is touch ...

You didn't say what camera you were using when this occurred.  But a guess on my part is that when you are zoomed out, the lens is at its widest aperture.  Most cameras with zoom lenses decrease ...

Remember that you don't have to always change the aspect ratio for each photo. The LX100 has an optional bracket setting to take photos in each aspect ratio with one press of the shutter button. ...

Which means that you have a choice when using the ring - aspect or some other function.  I like having a dedicated location rather than one I have to go into a menu to program.  And the dedicated ...

As an owner of the original LX100 and now the upgrade, I've never had a problem with the switch for the aspect ratio and greatly appreciate that I don't have to dive into a menu to change it and ...

I stand corrected.  But changes to the exposure compensation can be viewed on the LCD and viewfinder as they are made.  With aperture set to A, changes to shutter speed will be compensated ...

I don't think you understand exposure compensation (the second dial to which I believe you refer to).  That is a function of aperture and not shutter speed.  And having a dial for exposure ...

I was looking at my pictures from the FZ-10 and in good light, they really stand up well.  It's when I took pictures in low light that the lack of noise reduction; the sensor; and the processor ...

I've never had a battery problem like you describe with any camera that I have had, including my TG-5.  I think if you have a spare battery, or can locate another, see if the problem also occurs ...
