Can you use the touch screen on the back to focus? As in touch on the screen where you want it to focus like the 5N? Any Time Lapse apps?

Yes, you can tap on the screen to tell the camera where to focus and then it will release the shutter once it is done focusing. I believe they call the feature "touch shutter" or something like that. And yes, they have a time lapse app, but if I recall it's not free.

I used mine only with the 5N so I cannot give you an accurate answer. Beautiful viewer though.

No, it will still do time lapse. First, make sure your SD card is in. Second, only certain shooting modes will allow you to do time lapse. Try Intelligent shooting mode if nothing else works.

Yes...when you turn on the camera, on the left lower of the screen there is a finger pointer symbol. Touch it and then a menu comes up that lets you choose touch operation options. Nice.

With my old 5D MkII, I use the center focus dot 90% of the time. Pre-focus, lock and recompose

Well the button on top has a little graphic of a camera so I would say you use it to take snapshots while using it as a camera... I have never used it for that and most likely never will because I use a program called Many Cam and it lets me take snapshots right from my the software. As far as focus is concerned, it is fixed focus and so far I have not found any issues with it. Much better than Auto Focus for sure.... it seems to do fine up close and also with distance... but also remember it does not have any type of ZOOM.... I have had many cams and this one is by far the best for my needs and also the cheapest. Hope this helps.

I doubt this would work as the 'focus' of touch would not be able to go between the programs

You can set to manual focus as such: 1. Set the focus selector switch to [MF], which displays on the screen. 2. Press the setting wheel to set [MF] to a selected state. 3. Rotate the setting wheel to display the focus range on the screen. Press the left/right arrow keys or rotate the setting wheel to focus on the subject (use the cursor button to make slight adjustments). That should do it. Enjoy yourself. This has proven to be an amazing camera, with possibilities I don't get even with the M!

Frankly speaking, personally, I don't like touch screen. From my own experience, touch screen will NOT work properly if the weather is too dry or too high humidity. That's the reason why I bought the Sony a5000. Also, you will need an external connection flash for the Nex 5T. Although Nex 5T and a5000 are very similar, you should compare the specifications before making final decision.

You can, but the phone is tiny so it's hard to see pics and vids. Especially since the processor isn't fast, so you can only rely on Wi-Fi to watch videos. I had this phone for a year, I couldn't send pics through text messages, that was a downer. But it is a cute phone for someone who has tiny hands and has never had a touch screen phone before.

In addition, the back touch-screen interface is 3.5" rather than 3"... a bit bigger. I struggled with the differences and ended up getting a T77 with a 4Gb memory card ($25 more). I decided I could get by with a slightly smaller screen on the back for the price difference.

Hello! The touch screen works off an optical method, if you are touching the screen in other places at the same time it will confuse the touch points you want specifically.

Thanks, John. Now if only I had pockets big enough both to purchase the S5 IS *and* to hold its bulk. :-/ So I guess I'm still wondering: Just what the heck IS the reason none of the pocket-size digi-cams seem to allow zooming in video mode? Too expensive? Too noisy? Simply not possible due to some technical constraint? If anyone has a good answer, I'd still like to know. Thanks for the good discussion so far...

To my knowledge there isn't any way to manually focus these cameras. I bought mine as a refurbished unit and it has an incredibly clear image. You might have to contact Samsung.

I have a Cannon T4i and I am able to open the back screen with no problem. I believe the T5i will be the same.

No the back screen is not a touch screen all the movement is controlled by the zoom lever and the rotating round dial next to the screen

Up that I understood, the front camera is for conference call only. With back you can take properly pics using the screen to direct to the object or target!
