User questions & answers

Question:	How do you get the pictures from the camera to the phone
Answer:	The Thule chariot cx 1 has an infant sling. Unfortunately, they are very expansive and rare in the US, meaning that getting them at a discount or used does not happen often. It all depends where you ride it, how you ride it and what quality all of the equipment is. Pushing a stroller or jogging with one is not different. So, yes, there is equipment out there that allows you to put an infant in a trailer that is safe but it costs over $1000. If you are into it though that system converts into a stroller, a skiing trailer and so on.
Question:	Can i ise a 64gb microsd
Answer:	The two tires on the side of the trailer are are tires, the tire that you install to use as a stroller is plastic and not air filled.
Question:	Is there any lens protection
Answer:	I have this trailer and was riding with a 3 yr old and 15 month old. I had an accident and did a "superman" over the front of my bike, flipping my bike, going about 15 mph. They wore no helmets. The trailer tipped to one side. While both were scared, neither one was hurt. If I were on a busier road, I would helmet them but the trailer makes it hard for the seat to be comfortable because it pushes their head forward where the helmet rests against the back of the seat. Use best judgement- the "cage" is metal and can endure some damage but then again, little brains don't like to be shaken.
Question:	How how do I plug in the charger
Answer:	Absolutely NOT! Car seats are designed to be used in a CAR! The bike trailer is not as stable as the back seat of your car and hence the ride for the infant will be much more bumpy. The infant does not have the neck strength to withstand a pothole or big bump. And while you might think you will be careful not to ride over any potholes, etc. the risk is too great! You'll need to be watching traffic, and things like the the trailer's clearance when riding along a street with parked cars or pedestrians on a boardwalk. With that many things to keep in mind you are taking an unnecessary chance with your child's health and well being. And finally, the manufacturer says this trailer is NOT for children under 12 months old, AND in addition to being 12 months old, they need to be able to hold their own head up, and sit up on their own. Please do not take the risk.

User questions & answers

Question:	what is the lens (mm) for UV filter
Answer:	I use 40.5mm Hoya filters on my TG-6 and TG-5.
Question:	I bought a fuji xp, highly rated as well, but was disappointed with the overall quality, underwater looked flat. should i expect better from this
Answer:	The Olympus TG-6 will produce very good UW images if used it correctly. Ideally the underwater mode is selected and the correct white balance depth is chosen. UW photography helps tremendously from having clear water and strong frontlit sunlight with no clouds . You also usually need to get pretty close to your subject. Without those you may need strobes or to use a flash. If want to learn more about TG UW photography google "tg-5 backscatter tutorial". In some cases after all that, the images yes will be a bit flat and you will need to do some post-processing. TG-6 images are good quality and tend to respond well to PP, especially if you use a raw file and a raw editor like light room. You can also use a free editor like Gimp...which can easily take care of flat image. Gimp > Color > Brightness-Contrast > Contrast (crank it right and the flatness should magically go away). Gimp can also do a good job with white balance correct (although LR is likely better at both tasks).
Question:	Does this camera come with a lens cover
Answer:	No. In spite of this, I have never smudged the lens. It is recessed enough that even when doing VERY close-up macro shot, the lens stays clean. If you are going to chuck the camera into a (filthy) jacket pocket, then something like the Olympus Lens Barrier LB-T01 would be for you. I have used the Olympus CLA-T01 Conversion Lens Adapter which comes with the traditional clamp-on lens cover. It usually stays in-place. For real dirty and dusty locations, I use a screw-on UV filter to keep the optics from getting scratched by wind-driven grit. I hope this helps.
Question:	What is the difference between the tg5 and the tg6? the specs are virtually identical
Answer:	There are some noteworthy improvements. Chromatic aberration is reduced, the purple orb issue has been reduced, you can now shoot microscope videos and you can use aperture mode with microscope mode. The TG-6 images are also a bit darker and less likely to be over-exposed. I think there is an improvement in image quality. The TG-6 is also a bit more rugged (thicker lcd, better for reduction, etc). The biggest improvement is in the lcd screen.

Product description

1. Heavy-duty construction assuring underwater shooting down to 14 meters, for up to two hours The solid, airtight body common to the WG-70 is not only waterproof down to a depth of 14 meters for up to two hours of continuous operation (equivalent to IPX 8 or JIS Class 8), but is also shockproof against falls from a height of 1. 6 meters, * dustproof (equivalent to IPX 6 or JIS Class 6), freeze-proof to temperatures as low as -10°C, and crushproof against weights up to 100kgf (kilogram force). ** Thanks to this heavy-duty construction, the cameras perform superbly and dependably even in harsh, demanding outdoor conditions. 2. Exceptional image quality The WG-70 comes equipped with a back-illuminated CMOS image sensor, which assures excellent high-sensitivity and low-noise characteristics and high-speed readout of image data signals. Coupled with a high-performance imaging engine, this image sensor delivers a top sensitivity of ISO 6400 and super-high-resolution images with approximately 16. 0 effective megapixels. These models also provide advanced image processing functions, made possible by the latest super-resolution technology, to assure sharp, clear, high-resolution images. They even offer such innovative features as Handheld Night Snap mode, which automatically captures several images of the same nighttime scene and produces a single, blur-free composite image from them. 3. Improved usability of Digital Microscope mode The WG-70 has a Digital Microscope mode that allows the subject to be greatly enlarged. Usability is improved as the recording size can be newly selected from 2M (1920 x 1080), which gives priority to enlargement with digital zoom, to a maximum of 12M (16: 9) (4608 x 2592), which is useful when printing or trimming with high resolution which further expands the field of shooting. 4. Six Macro Lights to assist close-up shooting, with various functions Ideally positioned around the circumference of the lens barrel for macro shooting, six LED Macro Lights allow the WG-70 to provide bright, uniform illumination on a subject when the Digital Microscope mode is selected. *** Thanks to these Macro Lights, the user can clearly see a magnified view of the microscopic world undetectable by the naked eye on the camera’s LCD monitor, and effortlessly capture eye-catching, close-up images. In order to minimize camera shake and subject shake, the Instant Illumination Enhance function allows for the use of a higher shutter speed by automatically raising the discharge level of the Macro Lights at the moment of shutter release. The Macro Lights also provide other useful functions, such as a Self-Portrait Assist mode, which uses the blink of an LED lamp to check if the subject’s face has been safely captured within the picture frame, and the LED Lighting mode, which uses the Macro Lights as a lighting device in the dark. 5. Advanced underwater shooting mode Specifically designed for underwater photography, the image processing of Underwater and Underwater Movie shooting modes optimize color, contrast, and white balance, based on the data of images captured under the water. These modes deliver sharp, true-to-life images by enhancing shades of red, which are lost in underwater photography, while effectively compensating for the loss of contrast caused by the diffusion of light in water. During Underwater mode, the Flash Off + Flash On option, allows the user to consecutively capture two images — with a single shutter release — one without flash and another with flash. 6. Cross Processing added to Image Tone Cross Processing is an effect popular among our products, which allows you to enjoy unique photographic expressions. With WG-70, this mode is added to Image Tone, which can be selected with several shooting modes including, P (Program). The parameters of the image is adjusted to give a unique color-changed finish, like a cross-processed film ***. 7. 5X optical zoom lens with a 28mm wide-angle coverage The WG-70 feature a high-performance, five-times optical zoom lens with a focal-length coverage from 5mm to 25mm (equivalent to approx. 28mm to 140mm in the 35mm format) to accommodate a wide range of scenes and subjects, including sweeping landscapes. They also provide other convenient shooting functions, such as a macro mode to capture dramatic close-up images from a minimum focusing distance of a mere one centimeter; an Intelligent Zoom function to extend the zoom range to approximately 36 times (equivalent to 1008mm in the 35mm format) without compromising image quality, for superior telephoto photography; and an interval shooting mode, which comes in handy for fixed-point observation. 8. Full HD movie recording for extended shooting of high-quality movies The WG-70 provides Full HD movie recording employing the H. 264 recording format. Users can capture high-quality, extended movie clips (1920 x 1080 pixels, 16: 9 proportions) at a frame rate of 30 frames per second. To add some creative touches to movie recording, they also feature a high-speed camera function**** for slow-motion playback of captured movie clips, and an interval movie function. A micro-HDMI terminal (Type D) is also provided on the camera body for simultaneous output of Full HD movie clips and sound to external audio-visual devices. 9. Triple anti-shake protection to prevent blurred images in all applications Pixel Track SR mechanism When recording still images, this advanced shake-reduction mechanism effectively compensates for camera shake by digitally processing affected images. Digital SR mode When the camera detects low-lighting conditions in still-image shooting, this mode automatically raises the sensitivity up to as high as ISO 6400, making it possible to use a higher shutter speed and effectively minimize the adverse effect of camera shake and subject shake when dealing with poor lighting conditions. Movie SR mode During movie recording, this mode effectively compensates for the misalignment of images caused by camera shake through the use of exclusive software to produce beautiful, blur-free movie clips. 10. 2. 7-inch LCD monitor with the Outdoor View Setting mode The WG-60 come equipped 2. 7-inch LCD monitor with horizontally extended 16: 9 proportions and approximately 230, 000 dots. The monitor’s AR (Anti-Reflection) coating minimizes annoying glare and reflections to assure a sharp, clear on-screen image even in the harsh sunshine often encountered during outdoor shooting. It also comes equipped with such convenient features as: the Outdoor View Setting mode, which easily sets the optimum monitor brightness level for a given lighting condition 11. Other features ・A range of WG-series mount accessories (optional) to accommodate diverse camera setups ・Two remote control receptors (one in front and another in the back) to widen signal coverage ・Macro stand (included) to maintain a minimum focusing distance of one centimeter to the subject during extended observation and shooting of macro images ・High-speed Face Detection function to capture as many as 32 faces in focus in approximately 0. 03 seconds (minimum); Smile Capture function to automatically release the shutter when the subject’s smile is detected ・Outdoor-friendly Style Watch function to display the time on the LCD monitor, using an extended push of the OK button when the camera’s power is turned off ・Delay-free, pushbutton start of the playback mode, using an extended push of the playback button ・Auto Picture mode to automatically select the most appropriate shooting mode from 16 different scene modes ・A choice of 12 digital filters

User questions & answers

Question:	Which is the biggest sd card supported by nikon coolpix w300? 256gb
Answer:	The following memory cards have been tested and have been approved for use, by Nikon, for the COOLPIX W300: Sandisk: 4, 8, 16 32, 64, 128 256 and 512GB Toshiba: 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128GB Panasonic: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128GB Lexar Media: 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, and 512GB.
Question:	What type of memory card must I buy with this camera
Answer:	"The camera supports SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards. The camera also supports SDHC and SDXC cards compliant with UHS-I. Memory cards with an SD Speed Class rating of 6 or faster are recommended for recording movies (when recording 4K UHD movies an image size/frame rate of 2160/30p or 2160/25p, cards rated UHS Speed Class 3 or faster are recommended). When using a memory card with a lower Speed Class rating, movie recording may stop unexpectedly. If you use a card reader, make sure that it is compatible with your memory card. Contact the manufacturer for information on features, operation, and limitations on use." Quote from the Coolpix W300 Quick Start Guide, Pg. 32, Memory Cards That Can Be Used
Question:	With the GPS locations, will it attach the gps location information to the pictures saved data
Answer:	I am amazed that someone incorrectly answered "No" to this question!! The correct answer is: Yes, when "Use built-in location data" in "Location data options" in the location data options menu is set to "On", the W300 camera starts receiving signals from positioning satellites and will embed location data in each image's EXIF metadata. This is the main purpose of having a GPS/GLONASS receiver in a camera! But note that the accuracy of the location data will depend on how many satellites the camera is receiving signals from, and if you are in a place that blocks satellite signals, location data will not be recorded. When the camera is receiving signals, an icon appears on the monitor that indicates how many satellites signals are being received from, and thus how accurate the location data will be. For the most accurate location data, you should wait to take a photo until the monitor indicates that signals are being received from three or more satellites, which in my experience takes a couple of seconds after the camera is turned on.
Question:	My nikon w 300 is making a weird noise when i shake it , still makes the noise when i remove the battery ?what should i do
Answer:	This problem seems to keep going on in the Nikon Coolpix cameras. I have had an AW100 that didn't have this problem, then bought an AW 120 and this is when I first heard this noise. Thinking it was something loose inside, I took it back to trade it for another one. After the salesperson and I went through 6 other AW120s, and found that they ALL had the same issue. I took one of the cameras home and contacted Nikon and they said something about this noise in the camera and they were working on fixing this issue. Well, somebody must have dropped the ball because this issue has turned up in the AW130s and now I am reading that this issue is in the NEW W300. Come on Nikon, you have a great camera just figure out this f#$**%g problem and fix it. People who spend 400 bucks on a new camera dont want one that rattles. Fix the dam problem!!!!
