Accessories for zs7 ? If not, can a timer be set (and for how long) so that I don't jar camera while taking low light shots?

Yes, you can set the a self timer on the ZS7 by hitting the "Q. menu" button. Use the controller to scroll left/right until you find the Self Timer settings. There is no remote control available. For taking low light shots a slave flash would be a great addition too. Just search on Amazon for the 6 dollar "slave flash." And don't forget to use "slow sync" flash on the ZS7 if you don't wish to purchase a slave flash. Hit the right arrow key on the 5-button controller and set slow-sync flash which forces the ZS7 to use a slower shutter speed, thus lowering the ISO used because the ZS7's low light images have a ton of noise and yellow blotching. Warning! Hold the camera steady! I set a minimum shutter speed of 1/2 second in the main menu by hitting the center button. You may want to try 1/2 of a second or even 1/4 of a second for safety ;). And set exposure value to -0.33 to extend the flash range - hit the up button on the 5 way controller.

Hi, I have D5100 camera but setting should be similar for other Nikon DSLR. Go to "Shooting" menu then select "Release Mode" and you should see the timer and wireless release mode. Hope it helps. You can check out videos on YouTube for detail help.

Yes with timer there is a option in the camera to take burst of images, but I am not sure How long it lasts.

As someone who does not use studio lights, I am afraid that I cannot adequately answer this question other than to second a previous suggestion and use the self-timer on the camera.

Sure, you can set your camara into bulb mode, one click start the exposure and a second click stop it. It´s great because you don´t touch the camara so less movement.

I just bought the Lumix TZ5, and the box includes all the accessories you mention, plus the manual. Hope that helps!

I think what may help is motion detection. I already asked the tech support guy and he said they are working towards this functionality. I would think it be done soon over the next release or two. So far my camera works great so over all its a good by. good luck ;)

as far as a timer on it, yes it does have it. I used it at the Christmas 2013 gathering. It takes some exordinary pictures. you'll definitely be taken what the ones you capture with. as far as the continuous flashes, I've never really used it. that gives me another accomplishment for this year.

A review on the FZ7 indicated that AF (autofocus) needed to be on and just to press the button 1/2 way - wait for AF to work (a fewseconds) - then press full. Solved his problems. 2 or 3 reviewers stated same. Low ISOwas a "gimmee" w/o flash. Try autofocus (you are not using zoom and have light.

Love my ZS3. One thing I really like is the dedicated "video capture" button. I don't have to change to a video mode, I just hit the button any time to capture movies. Great camera!www.panasonic.net/lumix

Hi AndrewThanks for answering that one. I appreciate the feedback.Would you know of which ones might work best on the Zi8?

There is a setting for that. I no longer use that camera, but I remember that you can disable that. Check in all settings, maybe some setting about clock.

Not that we're aware of. We just recently bought the camera and haven't used it much. It does have a time-delayed option -- as in setting up the camera for a shot and joining in the picture. But not a time-elapsed feature that we know of.cj

D70 does not have an interval timer as far as I know. My D300 has one but it is a pretty expensive DSLR. Good luck finding one

No. There is no setting to disable the camera during certain times. Don't know why you would want to do that. There is plenty of room on the card to take thousands of pictures. And the batteries last forever. Had mine in the woods for over 6 months, still going strong.....

I own the Panasonic zs7 and just did an import. When you ask iPhoto to find the picture on the map (assuming you took it with GPS enabled), it pulls the picture location up immediately. It does not take the liberty of naming the place for you, but the map spot is highly accurate.
