Does this camera have a time lapse function, e.g. take a photo every 5, 10, 30 seconds etc. indefinitely until I stop it?

No feature like that. It's really a terrible camera unless you haven't used a newer digital camera in the last 10 years. This camera ponds off 10 year old technology with a waterproof selling feature and even that feature is questionable.

No it doesn't. I too it on a cruise and loved it the pictures were great. Even under water snorkeling

I tested this function. It recorded one straight shot for 24 1/2 minutes and then stopped recording. It did not automatically start recording a new file but the camera did stay on. Pressing the record button again starts a new recording file.

Yes it does. I personally have taken 40+ second exposures. And yes you can have intervals and/or delays set with that as well.

This camera has an internal battery but only lasts a few seconds for me. I assume so it will continue to operate if there is a short momentary lapse in power? I see other users are getting much longer battery life.

Yes, this camera has a self timer. You can do this in the camera by exiting the easy mode, and pressing the button at a 9 O'clock position.

I have no idea since I haven't used time lapse with it. Your best option would be to ask Panasonic.

Yes, there's a button on the back of the camera with a clock face inscribed on it. Push this button and a menu will appear on the screen asking if you want a 2 or a 10 second delay. Works great.

It does have. One thing I don't like is that it can record up to 30 minutes at a time. So if you want to record longer than that, you need to stop at 30 minutes point (or automatically stops) and restart the recording.

Yes it has a button to take pictures using the remote but no there is no time delay function on the remote

Yes set the camera on "Self timer: 10 second/ Remote control" (it's where you can set the continuous shutter feature.) You can do the same with video. It's great!!!

From my experience, it will record the previous 10 seconds before the motion and the 10 seconds after the motion. If motion is still detected by the camera during the recording time, it will just continue to record until the motion stops and of course the 10 seconds after the motion stops.

Far as I know, it have a self timer like 2 seconds or 10 seconds that you can take pictures automatic.

Yes, I must wait for about a second or two for the camera to reach focus. This is in the program [P] mode, or the Auto. Also, if I see a perfect picture, there is a noticeable time lapse between when I press the button and the shutter "releases" [electronically]. This means that on many occasions I have to take another picture and hope for better.

No it doesn't have a pause, just the square red record button that you push to start and stop. It is very basic, but it does zoom and take both video and stills and the reason we bought it was for underwater filming while SNUBA diving and snorkeling.

Yes, it does have a timer setting and it works quite well. Great little camera for someone that doesn't want a large complicated camera.

nope. This doesn't do time ie. is not a stop watch. It only counts "times of something/laps".

No. It has panorama, and can take a series of pictures in rapid succession, but does not have time lapse.
