Canon PowerShot TX1

My camer is a less popular brand one. I want to get the canon g 11 or the new panasonic lunix.

Canon TX1 is a good camera BUT the battery life sucks.
I have purchased some oem batteries made in china but those batteries sucks as well. does anyone have any solutions??

yeah... he is idiot...!!!

idiot!!

I know , but i dont know if it`s possible to do that...

can i records video with the lcd screen off? i mean not open

That would be good for longer battery life. But you wouldn't be able to see what you were recording, because the TX1 doesn't have an optical viewfinder.

RED-EYE: If you half press the shutter button to focus for more than a half second, the red-eye lamp extinguishes and the pupils will not remain dialated by the time your shutter goes off. You must half press, compose, focus, release, tell the subject to lok right at the red lamp, and just take the shot.

The TX1 is the most powerful camera that can fit in my pocket. I learned the manual, learned the camera, and have taken more pictures and HD movies than I could have without it. Swivel rules!

"Set the [Red-Eye] function to [On] and shoot (p.35). For this mode to be effective, the subject must be looking right at the red-eye reduction lamp. Try asking them to look directly at the lamp." p. 120 of Advanced Camera User Guide.

The red eye lamp vanishes quickly so you must compose your shot first, ask the subject to look at the red lamp when it fires and press and shoot.

red eye isnt a big deal?
