## Questions & Answers

**Q: How is it for close up detailed picture?**
A: I took some pictures of snowflakes and have perfect detail. I was about 3-4 inches away and they were about 1/4 inch diameter. I was just using automatic setting. I haven't tried the advanced features b/c I have an SLR. I can't speak for artistic close ups where you'd want to vary your depth of field.

**Q: Can video recording mode be set to shutter priority?**
A: Video is accessed by pushing on a red button on the top of the camera.  You can have the mode dial set to any of the modes-- including shutter-priority-- but I'm not sure if it really makes a difference or if, once video is engaged, it has its own setting.  You might try going to a Panasonic website and posing that question there.

**Q: How do you recharge the battery?  Do I need to buy a battery charger extra?**
A: Hi Lynda,You re-charge it in camera using the power cable. You can, however, buy a cheap charger for this battery. I purchased this one http://www.amazon.com/Wasabi-Power-Panasonic-DMW-BCG10E-DMW-BCG10PP/dp/B0049V0ZX8/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1385106277&sr=1-4&keywords=Panasonic+Lumix+ZS20+charger   with extra batteries

**Q: Does anyone have trouble with the clam shell lens not closing properly?  I have an older DMC-Zs7 and his is the only problem I've ever had.**
A: I've had this camera for over a year and have had no problems with the clam shell lens or any other part of the camera.
