Anybody knows how to switch between camera mode and recording mode? I accidentally changed it to camera mode and did not know how to do that again.

When in camera mode, first press on M' button at the bottom right corner of the unit will show the info of the picture just taken. The 2nd press on the same button will revert back to DVR mode but you have to press the top right button (at the top right shoulder of the unit) to return to recording.

you know what, it say its a touch screen. when I first turned the camera on I kept touching the screen trying to scroll & push, cause its a touch screen right? NOTHING happened, great I thought, my camera is broken?! Playing around with it more, I found almost ALL functions even picture taking are done by hand with the dial knob or push shoot button. I haven't used a touch function yet. The VERY short explanatory manual dosent say if there is an option to make it exclusively a touch screen either. So what in this camera is a touch screen? IDK , I do know I hate touch screens lol

According to the instructions, in the Menu there is an option for Audio Record - "On/Off". I have never used this option---I leave it in the default Audio mode (On).

Hi. I too received a Reverse only camera with no way to switch to Front mode. Ask Amazon for refund. This is definitely a wrong description of the item and needs to be removed or corrected.

I have this camera and LOVE it!! Still learning about it.This will sound crazy but, I have taken pictures in low lighting in the SCN mode set on portrait WITH the flash OFF...as most places/concert halls don't like you flashing your cam on everyone as it can be highly distracting.My pics are pretty clear so I say just play around with the different settings and you can figure out what works for you. Works for me! I LOVE THIS CAMERA!!!

This is my exact question. I bought the camera for video. We went to Costa Rica and although I switched back and forth between still and video, it only recorded video. The user guide doesn't shed any light on this problem. Luckily I also had my Canon ESO and a Nikon point and shoot. The still shots I took with this camera were when the other two weren't handy. Please, anybody, help!!!!!

The following instructions are all given assuming that you are looking at the back of the camera.While the camera is on, press the TOP LEFT (OK) button once to stop recording. Then press the BOTTOM LEFT (Mode) button Twice, this brings you to the menu. Press the TOP RIGHT (Up) button Once, then press the TOP LEFT (OK) button Once to switch to the Settings tab. Once on the Settings tab press the BOTTOM RIGHT (Down) button Once. Then press the TOP LEFT (OK) button UNTIL you see the language you desire displayed on the screen (the whole menu changes language as you cycle through the options).I'm giving you these instructions out of memory, so if it doesn't work, let me know and I'll verify the steps with my cam.

It is both a still camera or video camera. You can change the mode with the buttons on the Camera.

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

You have to switch back and forth between cameras. It doesn't have split screen where you can watch both and listen. Although switching between cameras is done by pushing one button and then it does switch between cameras on its own. There must be a timer or something. I hope that makes sense.

That feature is amazing. Place the camera setting on SCN and use "Action Sport Setting". Pics are unbelievable! This camera is a amazing. I strongly recommend it!

There are more than one Menu. Each Mode has a different Menu under it. In other words press Mode+ Menu to see each different Menu then use Up/Down to select and the Record/Snap button to save any change before going to the next option then Menu to exit..

WOW - I have struggled with this and I believe I found at least a temporary answer. I changed the EXR mode from AUTO to D-Range priority. It now focuses as I would expect and hunting is at a minimum. Even in taking photos. I suspect somehow the AUTO mode is overloading the system logic. I would love to hear if this helps others.

Hey eyeball, I need the same thing basically. My Question is this: I would like to use this camera as an HD feed for a monitor. Can I leave it in record mode (without recording) and get a feed without it shutting off? Did it end up working okay for you??? If not what did you get?

I will change to charge mode or data mode when the USB cable is plugged in. It will not record. That is why I regret buying this camera without thorough research. I use this camera for my motorcycle rides. I can only record as long as the battery lasts.

I figured out the aperture mode. This seems to be where the HS10 can take decent pictures. NOT pleased with exr auto, that is a crap shoot. So I am still so confused as to what camera is right for me. So frustrating. Still need to try the video as well. Oh, the free sony software was easier to use. I am having so many problems with SilkyPics. sends pics to my windows photo shop poorly, sometimes combining two pictures. GRRR
