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.

ZS8 owners are having also the ¨Dark Shadow Corner Issue¨ Curiously in the same camera, but the european version Called ¨Panasonic Lumix TZ18¨:http://www.amazon.co.uk/Panasonic-Lumix-TZ18-Digital-Camera/dp/B004I1KOM6/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid;=1328048869&sr;=8-15I don´t see any complains about the Dark Shadow issue??BTW, in the UK the European version is more expensive than in the USA!!

Yes there is. Set the exposure dial to "P". This is the programed (automatic) mode.

Assuming you mean to set a timer to delay taking the picture, the answer is no. AT least I have not founfd a way to do this.

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

I have a 7D. it sounds like you have your camera set on the self timer or something. Try the continuous shot. It should work.

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.

Yes this would certainly work, but I think its overkill for what you need it for. You could simply use the timer on the camera. Unless its candids that you are hoping to capture.

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

There is an intervalometer app that may be purchased for the NEX 6 (I think around $10 - $15 ). I have not yet purchased it, but plan to in the near future (:

I have had two lumix zs8 cameras and both had the same issue within less than 5 months! Lovw everything else about the camera...

No, but you may be able to do this with the "Bracketing" function in your camera. The timer just let's you periodically trigger the camera to shoot. (Just a user, I don't really know all that much about the product but I like it)

Yes set the camera on "Self timer: 10 second/ Remote control" (it's where you can set the continuous shutter feature.) You can do the same with video. It's great!!!

Changing battery is always a good idea but make sure tour camera is on the self timing mode, whether it b 5 second delay or 10 second delay. It took me a while to figure it out but it did work. Self timer mode is the key.

Ed, I'm not sure- Never tried or looked into it- I bought two batteries and a charger so that when one battery is run down, I just pop the other one in while hte first one is charging again. My feeling is that if you are goign to spend nearly $8,000 on z camera setup, then get the recommended batteries to go with it- they will last longer per charge, and I've noticed that usiung the 1DX in live view mode really drains hte batteries quick, especially if using the timer too- So I like to keep one battery always charged and ready to go

Thank you for your help and relay of information. I have purchased the ZS3 and absolutely love it! It just came, so am eager to spend some 'quality' time with it.

I have been trying to do that same thing. Some scenes get messed up by the auto-exposure. A couple steps down in the settings you can change how bright or dark the picture is but that pesky auto-exposure is still active. Let's hope if they ever put up another firmware update that they include that functionality like when they added the timer function.
