Does this camera have a remotely controlled shutter option?

I don't think so. It's been a couple years since we unboxed it, but I'm pretty sure it didn't come with a remote. I assume it has a timer? But we've never used it.

We regret to inform you this camera does not have an external remote shutter option. Full instructions on using the camera's timer settings can found here: http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/DMCGF5_ADV.PDF#page=88

No, it does not have this capability. It's a simple, yet functional camera, without all the bells and whistles. Though does offer access to view video remotely, via mobile app.

Hi! So far there is no official remote control for this camera. I don't know if there is a compatible one from a different brand (or a no-name one) ,I'm also searching for one too..

Hello, This kit didn't include any way to trigger the camera remotely. It might be possible with some other accessory, but I am not familiar with one.

This remote does have a switch that you can move to a locked position which will keep your camera shutter open until you unlock the switch. That time could be as long as you want the shutter to remain open, however it does not have the capability to do what you are asking. Some DSLRs do have an automatic interval timer feature built in, like the Nikon D7100. Check your camera manual.

No, you set your camera to the self timer function and scroll down until you find the remote wireless setting.

No. The remote is not the only way to start and stop recording. The remote does not have a way to know whether the camera has been started manually. The remote does have tactile feedback when you press the start-stop button, and the LED flashes once with each press.

This camera uses an EN-EL9 battery, which there are many available here on Amazon, and yes, Amazon has a remote shutter release available also in it Amazon Basics product line. I have many batteries, and also the Amazon remote, and all work perfectly together.

No, it just duplicates the functions on the shutter button. So, you can set the camera's exposure to "bulb", and use the remote to open and close your shutter (and if you shoot in mirror up mode you'll get even less jiggle), but you'll still have to watch a clock to determine when to release the button and close the shutter. I'm not aware of a remote with an integrated timer.

No shutter button. It's just an extendable rod that screws into any standard tripod mount.

No remote... but self timer built into camera is what I use - I think that's more convenient.

It doesn't have a remote. A did get a camera app with a timer though and it works great.

I don't believe this version does--it doesn't mention it in the camera manual or list a compatible one on their website. I use the self-timer, and there is a "smile shutter" function where the shutter will fire when the subject of your portrait smiles (and you can even set the "level" of smile on three different degrees.) and there is a bulb setting to keep the shutter open, but not with a remote. The newer versions, II and III, have a remote cable release (RM-VPR1) that seems to plug into the side of the camera.

Aloha Phi, Yes it can if you set your camera to bulb, the remote switch has a locking mechanism that slides over the switch to continuously keep the shutter open. You'll have to manually time yourself though, as no timer is built in.

The remote shutter release will accomplish the same as if you were using the Cameras shutter release button. Im very happy with this product,way better than the wireless.

Yes, if your camera has settings for 2 or 10 second delay. Vital for group photos!The remote uses a CR2032 battery. Do not leave the remote plugged into the camera when not in use, as it will drain the battery, rapidly; disconnect it when not in use.

Anything you can set the camera up to do when you push the shutter button you can do with this. You're just pushing the shutter button remotely. So if you can set it up in the menu and then push the shutter button, it's no different.
