Question: Can one turn off the touch screen?
Document: I have had 2 Panasonic Lumix Camera's. The DMC-ZS3 and this one the ZS-19. The ZS-3 was great for years and served me very well all over the world until finally something happened to the lense. For all I know I could have sent it in and had it fixed but I decided to move up to a newer one. For the 19, I am not a big fan of the touch screen.
I like the one button video record...no more having to switch to video mode! I hated that on my previous cameras, forgetting to check what mode I was in, and end up taking a video instead of a picture..etc. The speed of the camera is wicked fast! The LCD touch screen is very bright and super sharp... unlike the Sony's which is blurry and...just...hard to look at (defective maybe?
The touch screen is a bonus, touch to focus is a joy to use. Macro capabilities is a very exciting feature as well.Have fun!
Set on full automatic it takes great pictures. The touch screen feature is new to me and I am learning to appreciate that.
I took one shot of the bird, it turn it's head so I still aim my camera waiting for it to turn  back... when the bird did I press the button and the focus go through the whole process over which take so long that the bird have time to turn away again. Why does ZS19 have to go out of focus and refocus again? It already had the focus.
The rest from here on are the things I like.I like the touch interface for reviewing shots quickly, starting movie review, and setting the focus point for tracking. You can also zoom in or out using the touch screen.This is an upgrade for me from the ZS9 to the ZS19.
You can get a refurbished ZS19 for around $150. When filming, the zoom and autofocus are fairly quick and zooming all the way out to 20x zoom will still get you very clear pictures and video. You can take photos wile zooming and the screen on this camera is touch compatible. The software that this camera comes with is very easy to use as well.
I decided in spite of the outstanding zoom, the problem I was having in using the touch screen LCD, and the fewer scene modes, made it a disappointing choice. Thanks to Costco's liberal return policy the camera went back to the Costco warehouse for a no hassle return and refund. I hope this helps in your decision in choosing a new camera.
Easy to hold in your hand...I hate those super thin, credit card style cameras...sure, they can easily fit in your pocket, or even a cell phone case, but I always fell like I am about to drop the thing.The cameras UI isn't as nice looking as the Sony's, in my opinion, but has a ton of features. The touch screen is a nice added touch.
However, I find this laughable, because I bought the camera for the zoom and not the macro - I have another camera for that already.Lastly, this camera has a touch screen - touch to focus - which worked maybe 10% of the time?I would not recommend this camera to anyone. I'm baffled really by all of the good reviews, and my only hunch is that maybe my camera was damaged. If you do purchase this camera, get it NEW. Not refurbished.
Answer: There is a touch screen, and it can be toggled on/off via an icon towards the right bottom corner of the screen.
