Question: Does it come with a remote?
Document: A second annoyance is that the recorder doesn't come with a carrying case. Is Olympus hoping you will drop it and have to buy a new one?
I will likely add the remote control and external battery charger as charging is otherwise done only in the unit and I prefer external charging. This unit is quite a find... JUST BUY IT! !
maybe a light on the top of camera to let you know that it is recording. I kept having to check the little screen and it was awkward in the dark because the light would go off and would have to touch something for it to come on.All in all it is way better than the ZOOM Q3 for video and the sound seems better too! I would by an extra batter to make sure that I don't run out of juice next time!
I am using the Olympus to do video demonstrations of my products on YouTube, so I am tripod mounting the LSM20 and thats where it truly shines, as a studio camera. I am using Shure SM57 microphones into a small mixer then into the Olympus, to combine for great audio and video in one file. There is also a remote control unit you can buy that I just ordered which will make my productions even easier to do.
I shot nearly all of a one hour set and my arm was indeed worn out from holding the camera at the funky angle necessary to capture the performance. I would hope that future versions of this model come with a way to adjust the camera lens--that would have been a huge plus on this release. For whatever reason, Olympus did not see fit to provide us with a case for the LS-20M out of the box.
Otherwise, it is difficult to recommend it as a video camera unless you must have certain features like external microphone input, remote control, etc.I ended up using a Nokia Pureview 808 cell phone to record most of my video, which gives even better image from its bigger sensor and wider lens, and comparable sound quality from its special optimized digital stereo microphones with high tolerance for noise distortion.
video quality better than expected, handy to have laying around flat and inconspicuous, can be concealed easy, will likely record audio better than most cameras
com/ watch?v=AtUzBRdoEYk  (remove spaces)I did go through every single possible setting (image stabilizer, image quality, ISO, etc.) trying every single combination - and nothing solved the problem. UPS should be picking it up today......FYI - the max file size is 4 GB regardless of quality settings. So at 1080p that's about 40 minutes of continuous recording. I hadn't seen this mentioned anywhere, expect when I found it towards the end of the manual.
You get about an hour recording time if you use the highest audio and video resolution. There are batteries that will work that have 1000 mah rating instead of 750 supplied by Olympus, so you should get more time of those, I have yet to try the ones out I got on Ebay. Olypus's batteries are way overpriced, you can find way way cheaper ones from other sellers, I'll be finding out pretty quick how good they are as I bought a few, plus a charger.
With this device, listening to the video's sound is more pleasant and cleaner. For instructional video, it's excellent because the range of a person's voice is fuller, richer, not thin like most consumer video cameras and cell phones. The distortion from loud noise is also very low.You can record directly to WAV (linear PCM) format and browse the device just as a normal USB memory drive on any computers.The video function has far more flaws than merits.
Answer: It is an accessory you can purchase separately.
