User questions & answers

Question:	My digital camera has a delay between pushing the shutter button and the photo actually being snapped. What is the response time of this camera
Answer:	Yes
Question:	does it come with lens cover
Answer:	If you are vloging no because the screen doesn’t flip back for you to see yourself and if you want good sound no because no audio port but it’s good otherwise
Question:	Is this camera good in low light situations
Answer:	It's fine for nature, sunsets and landscapes. It's not good for sports, because it only shoots 3 frames per second doesn't have the best lens for sports. It would do OK for sports outside in full sun, but you might want to get the kit that has the 70-300mm lens. It will do badly at indoor sports events.
Question:	Can you take close up macro shots with this camera
Answer:	yes it comes with both

User questions & answers

Question:	Is Lens removable
Answer:	It comes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. We pack 2 batteries for each buyers
Question:	Is the screen a touch screen? thanks
Answer:	Yes, it come with a wrist strap.
Question:	Does it have tripod base
Answer:	I tried to post a review and it said the reviews were disabled/unavailable. I do not like this camera, we returned the first one and now the second one will only take one picture no matter the size of the SD card (16 GB vs 32 GB).
Question:	Is Lens removable
Answer:	SD Card it's not included, it's compatible with memory cards up to 64GB. I bought this > http://topreviews24.com/sd-card/sandisk-64gb-extreme-pro/
Question:	What kind of batteries does this use
Answer:	We have both. Fantastic cameras. The 2500 is a bit better with video and marginally better with extra zoom. But very similar and overwhelmingly usual and excellent camera.
Question:	Does this camera come with a wrist strap
Answer:	Nope! Make sure you get now lower than "class 10" sd card (e.g., Sandisk, Transcend). Format it using the Lumix camera before you start shooting. You can find the "format" in the menu/setup button. If you will be shooting photos mixed with video, better get the higher GB (at least 64 GB). Better yet, bring an extra sd card (class 10) just to make sure. It comes with 2 batteries. This should be enough for an "average" full-day photo/video shooting. If you plan to travel and no time to charge batteries, buy an extra battery and charged all of them the night before. If you're travelling out of the country, make sure you bring a socket adapter although now, some hotels/cruises have both (US and Europe). If you're into post processing, this camera also shoots both RAW ad JPEG format. Excellent choice. Great photo and video image quality. Good luck.
Question:	Why are the reviews hidden for this item? when i search for the word "reviews" a few up them come up. why does it say 0 reviews? fishy
Answer:	The camera itself weighs 11.50 ounces.
Question:	do you have to have a sd card
Answer:	WIFI yes...don't know about GPS tagging

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the picture quality
Answer:	MUCH better than you can get with a cell phone.
Question:	I ordered three of these and not one of them came with the CD card. Anyone else have this issue
Answer:	They don't come with a cd card.
Question:	Does it have a sports mode
Answer:	Not that I know of.
Question:	I want an extra battery for this camera; the minolta mn5z. what is the battery number needed for an additional battery
Answer:	It is a 3.7 volt Lithium battery pack. Model NP-451icp6/32/40. I seriously doubt you will ever need an extra one...
Question:	I use this in a survival game. Can you find people hiding in the daytime forest? The temperature is 10-30 degrees
Answer:	yes, without a doubt. You could easily spot someone hiding in the bushes or trees at that temp on the right setting.
Question:	what is the max range this can see a thermal signature ? wolf/bear/Bison @ 1500 yards
Answer:	That is a hard question to answer not having a range finder on my thermal. You can see thermal signatures well over a 1000yds, but here in East Texas I don't hunt anywhere that I could view that kind of distance, however at 350 yards, I can easily determine what animal I am looking at whether it is a pig, raccoon, buck or doe, I can even see a mouse at that distance. I know that may not be the answer your looking for, but I hope it helps.
Question:	How many hertz are in this scope
Answer:	i believe 50hz
Question:	what Hz is it
Answer:	The specified video recording frame rate is 30 frames/second. They do not have a spec for sensor framing rate but direct viewing or reviewing video appears as good as television when viewing motion of an object.
Question:	Can this be fitted on a rhino mount
Answer:	I’m not sure but I can tell you not to buy this model much less anything from atn. I was sold a defective unit and tried to claim warranty but since they no longer make this model they do not back their warranty. Very bad company
Question:	Can you adapt the ATN Night Spirit-2 Gen 2 + Night Vision Multi Purpose System to a daytime rifle scope? Thans
Answer:	There are two adapters available, one that mounts to a Pic rail and another that adapts to your scope. Both should include a 1x lens to replace the 3x lens that is included on the monocle. Be wary that they are hard to come by now and cost a couple hundred dollars.
Question:	Does this come with a picatiny mount
Answer:	No. It has a tripod mount. It's strictly a spotting scope & does not have crosshairs.
Question:	What is the refresh rate
Answer:	I think it is 30 hz. It has much better image quality and is a lot heavier than the Flir 320. It also can send video/photo to an internal SD card or playback via Bluetooth to your phone. I love mine.
Question:	I use this in a survival game. Can you find people hiding in the daytime forest? The temperature is 10-30 degrees
Answer:	Absolutely
Question:	Can i use it for rifles like ak-47 and ar
Answer:	No, these do not have any kind of mount. The Thor is the model that had a weapon mount.
Question:	What's the range
Answer:	Animals and humans are visible out to several hundred yards but much beyond 100 yards or so they will just be a small blobs of pixels, very difficult to identify. I would say identifying a small animal like a coyote or rabbit is limited to about 50 yards or less, larger animals a bit further. Generally I would say this is a very short range thermal optic.

HDR which stands for 'High Dynamic Range' is taking multiple images at different exposure levels and merges them together to form one ideal photo.

Time Lapse is when the frame rate is much lower than that used to view the sequence, so when played at normal speed, time appears to be lapsing/moving faster.

Burst Mode which captures multiple images in rapid succession.

Panorama Photography

The term 'panorama' means 'all sight' in Greek. Panoramic photography is a technique in which a lens’ internal software stitches multiple images together to form a single photograph. Its purpose is to capture images with a wider/elongated field of view so you can fit more content into one picture.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this camera be mounted on tripod
Answer:	Yes, the Night Owl NightShot can be used on a 12ga shotgun. With the many variances in 12 ga. shells on the market such as 2 ¾ vs 3” magnums, brass size and shot size ranging from 8 shot to buckshot to slugs. Typically the larger the brass and the shot size, the larger the recoil. Shells that provide a stronger recoil may cause the NightShot to momentarily lose battery contact, resulting in brief flicker of the image (about 1 second) but does not damage the scope. The scope incorporates a feature to recover power, and retain all settings.
Question:	Is this CCD
Answer:	Not likely. It’s been used on high powered rifles with as much or more recoil
