Does the AW1 have a full manual option available? or even aperture or shutter priority?

Yes but less than 3 month it broken when I was using it in the sea so I had a lot of trouble with that and for me it wasn't waterproof

way better, shoots raw, fast autofocus, zoom lens, and so on. But many users reported leaks. I got a Nikon S2 / J4 and WP-N3 housing. cheaper and better than Nikon AW1 and less than half the price.

Usually yes. If you're in an auto mode there me be a delay for focus / light metering etc like most dslrs. However none of that in manual.

The A2500 is pretty great! My friend and my sister both have it and they love it! It actually has a lot of features/modes if you search through the camera. At first glance, it doesn't look like it can do much, but there are so many cool settings and functions--a lot like my canon powershot A470

I understand there is one on the Kodak website. The reviews I read cited the lack of a user manual as one of the negatives. I'll have to check out the "custom" mode.

Yes. The "M" setting on the dial allows you to set ISO, aperture, shutter, etc. manually.

Sorry if this comes off as elitist, but the photographers this model is targeted at don't need one. The user manuals are usually pretty terrible anyway. There is onscreen help, and there is google.

I think you have your answer from others here, but I thought I would chime in and call out that not only is it better and faster it locks on faster than my 1D Mark IV in low light conditions. There are a lot of tweak able settings, but I haven't found the AI servo to be as fast or reliable as the 1D, of course, that is mostly because I want the extra ~4fps and haven't fiddled enough with the AF settings. Even better than the AF system though is how gorgeous the photos that come out of the Mark III are. Incredible, even at silly ISO settings (12800+). You will love it if you get one.

To be certain, you can obtain a copy of the S01 manual free on line from the Nikon usa web site, which will explain this, or call a good camera store. I have never used it this way. Because of its tiny size, it would probably require a special adaptor.

No, it is shutter priority. You input ISO and shutter speed, and the unit calculates the aperture. But you can then toggle to the desired aperture and the unit will display the adjusted shutter speed. So you basically get to the same place as if you started by selecting aperture.

Nope,but I'm sure out there are some shutter controls.why don't you wait some more time and get the a99?

I don't know. I bought this camera as a birthday gift, and I can't even check now if it has this feature. The manual does not mention it.

Yes there is a AE-L/AF-L button you can access with your thumb. It has two wheels to change you F-stop and shutter speeds too.

Yes, it has a manual adjustment setting (on the dial-top right), in between the C1 (Custom) & Av (Aperture Priority) settings. I hope this answers your question.

Hi Amazon Consumer, you cannot adjust the ISO setting when in Aperture Priority mode in this camera. The ISO can only be adjusted in Manual Exposure Shooting, Program Auto or (Advanced Sports Shooting) in Scene Selection. Thanks_Mitch

Yes. However it does not allow use of automatic focus or aperture settings...you must manually focus and set aperture ... Aperture priority works, or use full manual exposure.

yes, there is a setting called manual mode with shutter speed and aperture. Each setting shows directions for that setting or explains the setting on the screen. We have not begun to use all of the choices, so cannot say how well they work, but take into account that the camera is a $100 camera. We are getting decent pictures from a camera which I am willing to allow my children to try their hands at different settings and pictures, all with digital, so they can be printed or deleted. It is solid and easy to hold. and handle
