Friend when I installed the firmware was updated automatically, works for me very well and in relation to a webcam, it must be compatible with android as probe which had but did not accept me.

Yes, and I would make sure to update it to the Unifi Video software so you don't have the unsupported firmware error like we had on some of the older airvision cams. If you look in the ubnt forums and you can find easy to follow instructions.

my camera still works. You may want to check and see if there is a firmware update that might solve your problem.

Probably on the Olympus website. I have updated firmware from there before, by downloading the updater software.

I tried something much like this, and it didn't work. I think there are timing issues. If you want a remote webcam, you may have to go to one that is wifi-enabled.

Yes!!! I have this problem as well! It's so upsetting because this is supposed to be a high quality camera. And I don't feel like spending $500 for a second camera. Have you found the solution for this? If you look at my YouTube channel: APurposeDeep, you can see that my first 2 videos were recorded with it and the quality is very poor :(

Don't know about any firmware updates as mine has been working just fine for 4 months. It was not easy to understand the menu structure at first as there are 2 modes for the menu that offer different settings. It does excellent video quality although the sound is weak. This is a good buy for the money.

I had the same problem with a different camera. It turned out to be a bad USB cable. Try a different cable.

I realize this was posted several month ago. My flip camcorder (same model) stopped responding at the same time yours did. The last video it recorded was on April 26th. I tried what LFJ suggested, but it did not work. I tried plugging the camcera into the USB port today (6/28/11) and, suddenly, it works again. Felt like Christmas. So if you have given up, ...give it one last shot and see if it works. Not sure if I can trust it, though.... Maybe it needed an update (which it did). Good luck.

The original firmware that came with the camera (1.01) supported 60fps in 720p. Later firmware revisions removed that capability, but fixed an issue with the microphone level. Seems like you could have 60fps and low sound levels, or 30fps and better mic levels...not an ideal choice.

Hi Emic, Sony engineers are the ones working on these updates. Firmware update for the camcorder will only be available from the Sony website. -Vincent

You can download it using that link, but you must check the current firmware version to assure you are using the correct update. There is a problem with their instructions to do that. They should say: Turn on the 3D camcorder Press the joystick to enter the playback menu Move the joystick down and hold for a minimum of 5 seconds Press and hold the photo-shutter button while still holding the joystick. After about 3 seconds, you'll see the status menu. Check at 4th position "FW Ver:"...

Update? Sorry, the original firmware is about the only one you are ever going to see. Don't expect much from this manufacturer.

Yes I updated the firmware. It was not hard and it seemed to work. But its been a while since I've done it.

I bought the same one and mine is bad as well. For that money it's almost too funny that the camera is pretty awful.
