The doll time is my thinking time. When I'm between steps or trying to figure out how to do something, the dolls step in to help out.

Still hand-held at 1/10. Boosted the "definition" and "sharpness" a bit in the Apple Photos app. Not perfect but better.
I did some in-depth reading about the OM System TG-7... that I should have done before buying it. The "aperture priority" system is not a true aperture adjustment. The camera has a limited physical aperture adjustment and uses an internal filter to emulate larger f-stop numbers. So a larger f-stop (smaller aperture) setting does NOT result in greater depth of field. That's a major disappointment.
The camera does offer a feature called "focus stacking" that I have not yet tried, that, in theory, provides extreme depth of field by electronically combining multiple e
osures focused on different areas of the scene. Cool, I guess, but why doe everything have to be an electronic emulation rather than just physical and tangible and real? I wanted a "pocket camera" to carry around for quick snapshots because my old pocket camera does not focus consistently anymore. But this new TG-7 camera, that is reviewed highly online for its "physical" nature, is basically just another electronic version of physical.
Oh well, at least the TG-7 has eosure compensation that's fairly straightforward, so that makes it better than my phone camera.

They're not dolls, they're action figures!
