I honestly can't remember but I do know there are two different modes for video and pictures. I broke my camera so I got a small action camera off ebay.

just switch the camera by touching the camera icon with an arrow around it. if it is anything else but that then i don't know what it is.

Due to how you can't manually select the shutter speed sometimes it gets a little bit tricky to shoot in low light. You'll have to play with the iso and the exposure settings for a while before you get a nice result. The hand-held starlight mode doesn't always work. The night scene mode works fine but you'll need a tripod and ISO is auto so sometimes pics come out grainy. HD VIDEO mode works perfect in low light; I've been going to local band shows and the videos come out great. At the beggining I was a bit frustrated for not being allowed to manipulate shutter speed but after playing with the camera for a month or so now I get some really great results in low light.

I am having this same problem, which I didn't previously have with my nikon...I typically use in auto mode....any tips for settings that will render most photographs useable (right now none of my photos are useable).Beware--I'm a frustrated novice!

Not sure if I can help you. I have no such issues with my camera. Did you order the item used? It sounds like it is not functioning correctly.

Well thanks a whole lot. I was having the same problem and was prepared to buy another camera since I have had mine for a few years and read how much it was going to cost to evaluate the problem. I smacked mine as well and it works. Will blow out with a can of air as well.

On the top of the camera do I leave the switch kept on the Green Camera? I don't know which setting that should be on either. Do I use the flash with the flower button? Need more light? I don't know what my image quality should be set on or my image size, should it be set on portair, number of pixels to use. Sorry so much, but this camera is new and I can't figure it out. So frustrating. Thanks for answering.

In the panoramic mode you press and hold the button while take a pano shot. But the result, although excellent, is a single pano photo. I believe you may be desiring Continuous shooting which is available in the "Drive" mode for Action shots. For more info you can check out the user manual (English Version) at: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/EC-ST200FBPBUS I love the camera and so does my wife. I am an experienced amateur and my wife is a good "point and shoot" photographer. Hope this helps.

I haven't used video mode. I was playing only with photo options in the camera.

There are 2 buttons located on the upper outside edges of the cameras that provide 3 settings. 1. IR ON 2. IR OFF ,3. IR AUTO . If not all of the positions work it's just a minor switch defect . Send it back for a replacement. The two buttons on the front are for On/Off and Camera Selection. Hope that helps.

You can do both picture or switch to video with a touch of a button, had it in rain and dropped it a few times works great still!

They still can't help you on this?? I mean they made the product, there are people out there that still have it, they should support it. I know it doesn't help you now, and I hate to say, I can't even help you. I was having issues with mine, and it ended up freezing on one pic, so I've since unplugged it. Good luck, I hope someone can give you an answer.

I would say try to find a way to reset the camera to all it's default settings to see if it was just something silly you pressed/touched. If that doesn't work, check your return policy. Other than that.....um....try a hammer.

Hello D. Hall have you already bought the camera?? I did and I am not very happy with it. the pictures it takes in the auto mode are not what I was waiting.. and the pictures with the movement mode.. are not clear enough... so tell me please if you get it and if it is working fine.

there has to be a folder on your drive or memory card labeled AUTOPLAY. any files in this folder will play automatically when you turn the cyclone micro 2+ on

I just received my manual a few days ago and haven't checked into all the camera will do. Will definitely try the action shot.
