You might also look for conversion software to convert the MP4 video to MOV which may be more readily accepted by your playback software.

It does have a matte finish and looks more professional than my previous black TG-2.

I saw the red version of the TG-5 before my black version arrived.  The black has a completely different complexion (pardon the pun) than the red.  It's not glossy and probably won't scratch or ...

I don't think you need to do this one hand, simultaneously.  Once focus has been achieved by pressing the shutter button half way, press the OK button.  The manual says not to move the camera to ...

It means not to move the camera while you push the two buttons.  Once the focus is locked, the focus point will remain the same until you take the picture.  As I said in my previous post, some ...

Not sure if the AF lock remains after the picture is taken. Some cameras hold the lock from picture to picture. Others revert to the default setting of unlocked. Also, I believe that the AF lock ...

The easiest way to focus manually to infinity is to chose an object more than 30 or 40 feet away.  Put the camera in manual mode; turn on magnification for manual mode in the menu; zoom all the ...

Before somebody calls me on this, I think the TG-5 does have a depth of field indicator that is displayed in the information setting while in manual mode.  However, I didn't get time to try and ...

I have a TG-Tracker.  It utilizes digital image stabilization in all video modes.  However, I have found that its 4K mode doesn't provide any better of an image than 1080p at 60 fps.  The Sony ...

Yes, I was thinking of landscape.  But it can apply to any subject that is not moving towards or away from you.  It has to do with depth-of-field.  There used to markings on cameras and lenses ...

No. That is the nice thing about this camera. It uses the entire sensor for 4K video. My only dissatisfaction with video is the continuous AF does not focus sharply at the far end of the zoom. ...

The various scene modes are basically a "quick & dirty" settings for the camera that you could do for yourself if you had the time, skill, and patience.  I would recommend that you take some ...

Since I can't hear what you are hearing, I can only respond with what I and other have experienced with TG cameras  that the zoom motor is most likely what you are hearing.  If you have noise in ...

I have not tried transferring images or videos from my TG-5 to my phone.  But the same Olympus application is used with my TG Tracker from which I have transferred videos.  It is very slow and I ...

Yes, autofocus issues and noise remain in the TG-5.  At least the clicking sound and jittery video that I had on my TG-2 are gone.  Video quality, as a whole, is much better.  The work around is ...

I bought the Olympus Premiums Tough Accessory Pack to use with my TG-2.  It still works with my new TG-5.  It comes with a water-resistant case that can be put on your belt or used with a ...

I view my TG-2, soon to be replaced with a TG-5, as a camera designed to take pictures under certain conditions such as rain or dusty environment, when I would not want to use my other cameras.  I ...

As has been discussed previous, it is very easy to hit the ai button when turning the camera on.  There is a setting in the menu that will require that the button be held down for a longer period ...

Are you sure that the ISO setting for still photographs does not carry over into videos?  My other cameras perform that way.

GPS information has to be updated.  And that could be your problem.  The full manual explains how to complete this update.
