You can turn the camera on and off. It takes both video and stills. Do NOT buy this one, it's a piece of crap, it will break easily.The gears are CHEAP PLASTIC, where the shaft goes thru center of gear, the screw that tightens on the shaft will strip on first crash.

You can take picture and video at the touch of a button on the controller. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNEYfSN6Imo&feature;=youtube_gdata_playerI purchased two of these u12a helicopters. After numerous frightfully brutal crashes, my first U12a started to wobble a bit due to a bent main shaft. I finally had to order #2. This helicopter is built well. I really enjoy my u12a. No heli is invincible. HOWEVER,I can say that I am really surprised by the amount of damage thia heli can endure.

pics are very clear. it also records video but I haven't downloaded somthind to view them as my computer said it cant read in that format. also I am not very computer savy. the controller has 2 buttons individual buttons for pic and camcorder. you have to push the camcorder button once to start recording then press it again to end the recording. if you don't push it the second time your video will not be saved...

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!!!

Hey how is the noise level in low light for video and pictures? Also can you tell me if there's a shutter lag?

Hello, I wish I could help but I gave this camera to my son as a gift. He lives across the country and I never asked him this particular question.

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

This camera does NOT take still shots directly, you can take screenshots from the video using VLC Media Player, but the camera cannot take still shots directly. This is a video- only camera, it would be a great buy refurbished. I recommend getting it, if you need still shots but don't need full-HD video then I recommend the Samsung F90 (long- zoom) or for a fair stack of dough get a bridge camera.

Battery here is not impressive, at least in comparison with my old Lumix LX-3. Turn camera off when not shooting should become a good habit. Also, there is no pause for video shooting and bno ability to get snapshots while playing.

In my opinion, when using the video function there is a delay. there may be a slight delay in picture mode but not more than any other camera I have used. hope this helps!

I haven't tried the camera yet. I plan on trying it this weekend. It is getting easier to use the other features._

When on the SPORT setting, the camera takes good photos of any subject in motion. I have not used it for movies!

Hi Andrew, Coincidentally, my husband who is the owner of the camera is also the owner of a motorcycle. Now, while we both recommend that one never fiddles with anything while riding, he has informed me that it is quite easy to turn on and off because there are only 2 buttons: an on/off button on the bottom and a start/ stop botton on the top. The only thing is, you'll have to look in the mirror to see if the functions worked; you won't be able to hear anything. The battery last about 45 minutes to an hour and 15 minutes. We hope you find this helpful and that you enjoy the camera if you happen to buy it. It has many uses and we both love it.

Hi there Angela I recently bought this camera after doing a lot of research. One of the only things that people would sometimes say was bad about the camera was that under certain conditions, the pictures came out in a condition like the one you described. There are a few things that you can do to help get rid of this "noise": 1. Choose a lower ISO setting. This setting changes the sensitivity to the light. You cannot change this value in the "Simple" mode, but in PASM and scene you can. The lower the ISO level, the more likely you might need to use flash, so open the flash and turn it to Auto (the default setting) when you use a lower ISO in poor to moderate lighting. 2. Change the internal Noise Reduction to High. You can access this setting in the PASM or Scene modes only as well. Changing this may make the picture a little less detailed, but probably only noticeable in something bigger than a 4 x 6. Access this setting by hitting the "Set" button, and then go down the menu to the third page, to a setting called Pict. Adj. and hit the right arrow. Noise reduction is the last choice. 3. If at all possible, take photos in good lighting. This will limit the use for internal brightening and adjusting, which will keep the natural colors and less noise in the picture. Hope this helps!

I turned mine off. It works but on mine it some times caused shimmer in play back, if you're moving the camera following action. If you're using telephoto and not moving camera or slowly moving camera, then ok. If you want to capture a frame to save a photo then you need it on.

Agree with Bob ring's comment. The only thing I am disappointed with is battery life is a little short sometimes. I have got some great shallow water pictures with it. Stills as well as videos. It is a lot of camera for the money. Do not try to change the battery with wet hands. Mine stopped working for a short time until I dried it out. I do really like it. I do recommend buying a couple extra batteries. I have taken around 6000 pictures with mine.

The pictures always are taken, sometimes it takes a few seconds to focus it. I have not used the timer function yet but the flash always works when its needed, and if it doesnt go off when you want it to you can force it on by changing the mode to backlighting and it will always go off.

It does also take still photos, but the quality is nowhere as good as the videos and even cell phone cameras look better. Still camera is about 1 mega pixel..
