In manual mode, can you keep the lens open until you let go of the trigger?

It depends what you mean by "keep the lens open". If you mean "keep the shutter open" then M.Jones' answer is correct. Bulb mode is designed to do exactly this.But if you mean "keep live view going when you depress the shutter button, and only take the shot when you release the shutter button" then I don't think this is possible.

You can control it one of two ways, first there is an iris button I. The upper left that will switch the aperture as soon as yiu press it to what it thinks is the best setting, second you can press the fast forward button or rewind button on the camera to open or close the Aperture.

Yes. But you SHOULD deactivate the autofocus system on your camera body first (usually a lever just below the lens lock release) this will retract the slot driver that spins to focus the lens. If you want (NOT RECOMENDED) you could just over power the motor and spin the focus ring. I've done this at high stress moments and when the camera isn't cooperating. It's probably very bad for the lens' focus gears and the motor driver in the camera body though.

Yes, but only in manual mode. However don't buy this. It's a huge piece of junk, firing the flash 1 in 5 shots if you are lucky, more like 1 in 10 on average. Save your money and buy a better quality set up.

yes. As the lens retracts into the body, built in a lens shutter closes to protect it.

When you ate handling the rifle, for the eyepiece, you so.ply push the spring button and the cover flips up. You Dont want to have to find the button and technically push back against you to open the objective lens. You simply thumb it forward and it pops open. It makes a lot more sense when you actually use it.

Yes. Not something I would use though. Depends on how fast your finger pushes the shutter and if you are focussed on subject already. Pre-focused or manual focus the shutter opens as soon as your finger pushes the button down.

The side button on this lens only allows for the lens to be retracted (closed) so that it is more compact. It will not lock the lens once extended (opened). If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact our sales department at 800-991-3350 EST. We thank you for your time and consideration!

No. Yes can choose to focus manually or automatically. There are different options available at a quick turn of a dial.

Yes you can, but when the battery is low, and you pull the trigger to fast it will get stuck, to fix that just flip on auto and pull the trigger, no problem really, good luck!

There is a stabilization on and off switch on the lenses as well as a auto/manual focus

Dear, Yes, I have the same problem. The only way to open & close the lens is with the switch on & off botton. KR

If you have to use 'release without lens' function to use the adapter/lens, will be manual focus only.

No manual mode, but it has: 1. P mode - you can control the ISO 2. A (aperture) mode - you can manually control the ISO, and aperture 3. Shutter speed - you can kind of control it by using Sport mode under SCN BTW: The TG-2's aperture is a FAKE as the actual "aperture" is ALWAYS wide open, but using two ND filters ( you can search the google for more info on this topic).

supposedly. it does not have anything in the menus so i don't think you can turn it off but p.148 in the manual says it has "lens-shift type optical stabilization"

Yes you can but it's awkward and heavy. It's difficult to hold the camera/lens and adjust the focal range. I got one of those pistol grip camera handles with shutter release. Screw it into the lens bracket instead of bottom of the camera. This way you can hold the camera/lens and press the shutter button with one hand while using the other hand to steady the lens and adjust the focal range. Requires some practice but is workable.

It can be set in manual mode or by using shutter preferred setting which allows aperture to be set with auto shutter
