When first tried the camera in the store, I set the mode dial to video and pressed the shutter release start taking video as all my other cameras do when I have the mode dial so set.  To my ...

If I am correct, the camera will take still photos with the camera mode dial set to video, but not during the actual recording of video.

On a recent trip, I noticed that my Olympus TG-5 changed its aspect ratio from 4X3 to 16X9 and back again without me changing the aspect ratio in the menu.  Has anybody else encountered this?  If ...

While it is possible that your zoom motor may be failing, I'm sure that the motor noise was always there and you just might not have noticed it. This is an unavoidable consequence of a compact ...

I would definitely have her leave the camera on program mode.  I've found that the camera tends to overexpose a bit, and she might want to dial in in some negative exposure compensation.  But I ...

I do not understand what is happening to you.  If you are in manual focus mode, you should be able to focus using the up and down arrow while shooting video.  I admit, I've never tried that ...

Whenever I have had color cast problems with photos from my cameras in editing, they have been resolved by changing the color profile sGRB.   You might see what the color profile is for the photos ...

I don't understand your point.  The app doesn't do the recording, the camera does.  The app is intended to transfer what the camera records to another device.  So, if I am correct, you can still ...

It probably has to do with the file size and the amount of time it would take to transfer 4K video using the wifi capability of the camera.  While I have OI share for use with my TG Tracker and ...

The airlines prefer to have have lithium batteries in the cabin where, in the event they catch fire, the fire can be extinguished whereas in the luggage compartment that can not be done.

There will be no problems with TSA.  But passengers are supposed to keep items with lithium batteries in their carry-on luggage rather put them in checked bags.  To avoid the risk of loosing the ...

Thanks very much. Good to know now why I really like the 16X9 aspect ratio in most of my photographs where the subject matter seems to beg for it to be used.

It really isn't hard to manual focus with the TG-5.  During shooting, press and hold the OK button.  This will bring up a sub-menu with one option for manual focus (MF).  Us the 4-way controller ...

I'm not sure.  I do know that the various aspect ratios are achieved using a different set of pixels on a 16 megapixel sensor with each ratio using approximately 12 MP.  Since the lens is 24 mm at ...

I got mine from Amazon.  Have you tried that site?

One thing that I truly like about the camera is the ability to change aspect ratio without sacrificing  the size of the image to crop a 4X3 to 16X9.  I'm very impressed with what can be done in ...

The ZS-100 and 200 have a slower lens than the FZ-1000.  That shouldn't make a difference if you are planning to shoot in bright light.

If you don't need the extended zoom that the FZ-1000 offers, you'll be fine with the LX-100.  I usually travel with my FZ-200 and my LX-100 to have a camera for both situations.  They fit nicely ...

It's learning how the camera behaves in different situations.  For example, my other cameras have smaller sensors and so I was used to a large depth-of-field, and consequently, I usually didn't ...

I have the LX-100 and respectfully disagree with your opinion.   I've found that there is a period of adjustment whenever I buy a new camera.  I didn't get very good results with my LX-100 when I ...
