Perfect Shot Preview SP-590: Anyone know how to access this feature on the SP-590?

According to the Olympus technical manager, this model does not have the Perfect Shot Preview feature. The technical information provided at the Olympus website is in error.

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.

I've never attempted to do that. I was hoping maybe the shot placement would be shown for strings of certain length. It doesn't, unless there is something extra about it that I haven't seen yet.

Personally I find it very easy to use the SR Auto setting on camera for B/W shots. What you do is get into the menu--move down to the FINEPIX COLOR choice--the click to move into the settings, which is hitting the "wheel" to the right and move down one setting from STANDARD and choose B/W. That works very well because once you have selected the B/W setting you can move to other modes in the camera and it stays at the B/W setting. So if you were to go into SP and choose FLOWER, your settings with still remain B/W, but also with the enhancing of the FLOWER mode......I hope that makes sense. I found it fabulous!!!

There should be a button or an option on the menu to select your fps. On that menu there should be a remote option. Used on a Sony A77

Thanks for your reply. My Exilim has that feature too whereby you hold your cursor on the photo and the property details shows up.

It says that it is not part of the camera options but can be added when you download to the computer, but I really havent any idea how.

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.

I have found that using the SP mode will give you the shots you desire.You can also go in the menu and adjust your shooting preference to go from indoor to ourdoor or sunset. I recently stood on my balcony at the beach and caught pictures of sailboats about 5-10 miles out. You do have to play with it a little, but, it is great for candid shots. On SP a lot of indoor shots can be taken without a flash. There's a setting for this, and pics come out real nice.

You can download it using that link, but you must check the current firmware version to assure you are using the correct update. There is a problem with their instructions to do that. They should say: Turn on the 3D camcorder Press the joystick to enter the playback menu Move the joystick down and hold for a minimum of 5 seconds Press and hold the photo-shutter button while still holding the joystick. After about 3 seconds, you'll see the status menu. Check at 4th position "FW Ver:"...

You have to use an external program such as opanda iexf editor. Install and run that program, open a recently taken picture with that program and it will show you what "click" it was taken on. Actually they are called shutter actuations.

Yes, in the menu. You must have the camera plugged in to a monitor to access the menu. There isn't a function or a button on the camera that will do it.

There is a preview button for reviewing photos taken. The LCD is not a touch screen.

Thanks for the info. I have installed the app, but the driver included for the GL10 doesn't install on a Windows 7 machine. Do you have a different experience?

Yes... I'm very happy with the sp570 that I'm using right now, which includes RAW and RAW+JPEG shooting, as well as a hot shoe. I was hoping Olympus would include a rotating LCD after Canon's new model. That would have been nice. I'm upgrading to an SLR shortly, but the specs on this are worth a second glance. 26x... wow. The Bird-Watching mode also appeals to me as a wildlife photographer, although I'm not sure how exactly it would work. I know the smile shot option on the 570 is utterly useless. But the predecessor, although much maligned, is a fantastic camera, so I guess we'll have to see.

With the camera's mode dial in P (Program mode), press the MENU button and scroll down to the setting for continuous shooting (bottom option on the first page; the default option will actually say "Continuous" on it). From there, you can press the OK button to see the list of settings for continuous shooting, or you can rotate the horizontal command dial at the top right of the camera to scroll through the settings without actually seeing the full list, too.
