Is there a manual mode on this camera?

The answer below (James ... Sr) is very complete. For more information you can probably find the manual on-line. I think that is what I did and downloaded the PDF file for future reference.

We had best results at monter jam using the high speed burst mode. Manual mode allows shutter speed to be set. search for manual mode and shutter speed http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/DMCZS5.PDF

Yes there is a setting you switch on the camera,pic is of a stick figure running. Love the quality of pictures this camera takes.

yes. there is a manual focus option. I played with a couple times but don't love it (but I'm used to a DSLR and manual focus)

It automatic mode the camera focuses fine. I haven't tried it in other modes yet, but if you have an autofocus lens I imagine it will focus for you fine.

No, it doesn't have the setting. And yes, you can get the effect with the ND filter and a tripod on manual mode.

Yes. This camera has an anti-intuitive way to setup the C1, and c2 modes. Put the camera in P mode, then press the menu button. In the menu, scroll down to the first wrench symbol, and select "Custom Mode Setup", from there it will save your settings from what you have currently selected in Program mode.

Mine came with the program mode. It has manual controls for shutter speed (from 1/1000th of a second to 2 seconds, and Bulb mode), focusing and aperture size (f1.8-f22). The aperture size and shutter speed can also be controlled by the program if you wish. Hope this helps!

No, it has an automatic feature that can be turned on or off. I would recommend only using this camera on Manual mode though, because you get better quality pictures.

No you have to be in manual mode on this one, but it works great when you do...I just switch back to Auto when I am done (I usually stay on automatic 95% of the time and only use manual every once in a while)

I do not think so. The only manual controls I have found are Exposure EV and ISO in P mode. In P mode the camera gives you the suggested F stop and shutter speed. For what it is this is a great snap shooter and does great indoors no flash using the auto modes.

No...you have to use ASA to set it, and put the camera in Manual mode...its hard to figure out and to me the pics look very grainy...like on 35mm using asa400 in the daylight...hope this helps

It's in the manual but the camera has a setting to override the dof focus etc. In that respect it's not really intuitive.

Yes. In the auto mode there is a setting. It is a fantastic digital. I use mine al the time.

I haven't used the manual setting alot, but yes, you can set the shutter speed to 1 second or more, also you can change the f-stop under this setting.

All the early reviews so far have mentioned that they give you full Program, Aperture priority, Shutter priority, and Manual options when shooting video. They even let you use scene effect modes like monochrome while shooting video.So yes, manual controls for video are available. The only limitation I have heard with video (besides no audio-in jack) is that the in-camera Image Stabilization feature is disabled while shooting video. Using a lens that has it's own image stabilization works as expected though.

there is a dial that lets you select various modes including rapid,night,etc-or you can use camera manually.
