    Hello,

    I also bought the s5z and i love it, but i have no idea how to use this time lapse delay movie feature and I did not see anything related in teh manual.

    How do you set it up to watch the grass grow?

    thanks a lot

    Hello my friend Roberto. Thank you for post your question. We sent out a team of twenty readers to comb through the manual and after twenty hours and 10 minutes, we found the page you may be looking for.

    In your Pentax Option S5z Operating Manual, you will want to turn to page 70, “Taking Time-lapse Movies.”

    Basically, you just need select the menu button, scroll down until you find the “Movies” option, click right and in that sub-menu you’ll see timelapse settings to mess around with.

    You’ll want to prop your camara on something sturdy, holding it for hours doesn’t seem like fun.

    That’s really odd Louis. I don’t get that problem with my camera. Might be a malfunction with yours, definitely check with Pentax on that.

    I hope you’re right about this camera. I was gonna buy one that cost $299 and decided I could get by with this one when I was only paying $165 (including shipping!). Did you have any complaints about the display in sunlight? I keep seeing complaints about that, but my current camera also sucks in that regard. I’m not entirely sure about how they’re supposed to fix that.

    Hi Ellen. Like I said in the email I sent ya, I think you’re going to be pretty happy with this camara’s video. Most LCD screens have problems in direct sunglight. But again, I think the screen is big enough and bright enough that it’s a rare problem… I haven’t noticed with mine.
