Where can I find help information for the Momento? The display on mine has become very dim so I can hardly see the photos. How to reset?

You're lucky your Momento still functions at all. The back light on mine failed years ago. I don't believe they can be "reset", its slowly failing.

Turn the numerical brightness dial to "0". I had a similar issue until I noticed the 0 setting turned the sight off.

I believe there's a reset button you can hit using a paperclip. I don't have mine in front of me, but it's on one of the side ports. I may have experienced this once, or it wouldn't turn off or on. Either way, the reset button fixed it and you just have to set the date/time, etc..

Actually having the same problem so I don't know. I have not gotten around to reloading from scratch. I just loaded pics from a flash drive and turn the device on and off manually. Works fine that way.

Thanks very much for the info., Les. I actually returned my camera when even Panasonic tech support couldn't fix the problem, but I later learned it was not a defective camera. I'll be buying it again in the near future as I think it's a great camera, and I'll be saving your message in an attempt to figure it all out. Also, too bad there's no flash button on the camera and that you have to go to the menu to fiddle with it. That's weird! (and too bad it doesn't pop up automatically, like my Sony) THANKS AGAIN!

Ugh, I have this problem too! I bought to be a gift for my grandmother, and spent a while collecting photos from family so I could preload the photos for her. Finally got everyone's photos, loaded them to a card, and tried out the frame only to discover it powers itself off after 5-6 photos every time! There's no setting for this, so I can only imagine it's not supposed to do that and is just defective, but now it's too late to return and still get to my grandmother for Christmas!

I think I solved it. Once you clean it as the manual says you need to reset the system. With it plugged in but NOT turned on, put a paperclip or something in the reset button and press the (I think) Timer button. Should work then. The reset procedure I just described is in the manual right after the cleaning instructions.Thats funny V. Montez, I did the same thing - put it away for a cpl months and finally decided to tackle that damn blinking red light. Its all working well now!

I have been trying to do that same thing. Some scenes get messed up by the auto-exposure. A couple steps down in the settings you can change how bright or dark the picture is but that pesky auto-exposure is still active. Let's hope if they ever put up another firmware update that they include that functionality like when they added the timer function.

Momento are a piece of worthless crap. I got them replaced twice but none of them worked.

have you check the ISO youre using? I had the same problem when i had my setting at the highest ISO. I now just leave it as AUTO and have great pics. If thats not the problem, then i dunno what is. Sorry!

Mine is doing the same. It flashes the image for a second and the image disappears...only to be replaced with the *no image* image. I tried all the different settings and wiggled the tray around, but to no avail. I am looking to call technical support. There is very little help, or FAQ online.

No light. In low light settings the lack of a flash/light source the still photos are grainy.

After much time playing with the menus with all the other buttons too I finally somehow found the page. I changed the year and went to what I thought would be the next field (down button) and the menu disappeared and no changes were made. I screwed with it for quite some time after that and was never able to find that page again. I do not know about yours, but the battery in mine sucks raw sewage and I found that I can not find a replacement at any of the places I would expect to find it. Other than that, it is quite a camera for the price and the viddies it makes are beautiful and much, much less shakeing than expected. If you ever find how to change the date, please share the info.

Hello Craig. Not sure I have any suggestions for you on this. I have had mine installed for almost a year now and have never had a problem. Maybe you got a lemon and hopefully you can return it for a replacement? It would be worth trying in my opinion because it's the best camera I have used thus far! I have 2 other cheaper Swan models installed on my system and plan to swap them out for this model as soon as I get the $$ to do it. This one beats the other Swan cameras I have 10 fold on overall picture and especially on night vision distance/clarity! Good luck Buddy

Have you tried any older systems to see if they look okay/have lag?Anyway, thanks for the info! I may have to go for this, although I'm a bit nervous not being able to return it if there are dead pixels or whatever.

Hello, i had a similar problem. When i turned on the camera a warning message show the display. And it was cause the protector lens was put in. You have to turn on the camera without the protector.
