Real Waterproof with less Quality
|
I lost my previous great Konica Minolta camera after it got wet by an ocean wave, while sailing on a boat. The Olympus camera is definitely waterproof. I swam with it in the ocean in Kauai, and it worked.
The quality of static photos is acceptable for a waterproof camera.
A disappointing surprise is the software. Since there is no view finder, if you need reading glasses, it is difficult to adjust the photo size with zoom. You need to take a wider picture and crop. The camera let you crop... but you cannot save the cropped photo! The camera records the date and time... But you cannot date stamp the photo! Things that any old average digital camera does!
There are special functions with nice displayed illustrations to select that do not work, like a displayed marathon runner function to select for photographing fast moving objects. It didn't work. The photos of moving objects are blurred and you need to press the shutter button a few seconds in advance and pray that the object would be in the frame when the shutter open. If you try to photo a moving car, horse or fish, you generally get an "abstract art". No mention in the booklet that you need a faster memory card, or the camera is just slow.
The worst part is Customer Service. The technician told me that it is a new camera which she didn't know and read the booklet while my cellular minutes run for 30 minutes. Her supervisor is an expert in making you feel that you know nothing and just bother him, and didn't volunteer information, like they did in Konica Minolta (the brand does not exist anymore) when I bought their camera and called them six years ago, in order to explain how to take great, fast, date stamped, but not waterproofed pictures that I could crop and save.
