Cameras and Lenses

The website sliders don't work well with a touch interface. If I use a mouse, I can smoothly move the slider values. But attempting to tap and slide them either has no response or makes the slide move to the extreme left or right.

I'm using Firefox (Nightly) on a Windows 10 tablet (Microsoft Surface Go).

I did some more testing and I think it's due to how Windows interact with the website slider.

I've tried with Chrome on Windows 10 and find that the slider works but only if I touch on the line the slider is sitting on to set a value. Attempting to tap on the round circle and pulling it to slide does not work.

I tried again on Firefox and if I very carefully tap on the line, I can set the slider. But touching the circle and sliding does not work. So, Firefox is more sensitive than Chrome when it comes to determining whether I am touching the line or not.

I presume this is due to how Windows interprets touch events and passes them on to the browser, making the sliders hard to work with in my case.

Sliders work perfectly for me on latest FF on latest LineageOS, which suggests that it's not a problem with the website, rather with either FF or Windows on your device.

It works flawlessly on my iPad in Safari.
