I'm frustrated about this too. I'm glad to see the price drop however. I hope you get a reply soon.

My old s230 did remote shooting. Canon removed this feature for no reason other than greed. Make something old and simple an "advanced feature" and charge more for it. Last canon I buy.

My camera didn`t come with a remote. Is not even on the description either.

If you read manual on page 134 it shows how to use remote control. I guess the reason it wasn't advertised for K-x cause it was fairly new camera. You can buy one for around $5-$7.

Well, it looks like mine and has the same model number--BUT mine is definitely not remote controlled in anyway. I read the reviews on the Sony site, but none of them mention remote control. Can't really be sure, but I think it is a typo. Sony does have a wired remote control that might be compatible with this tripod, but can't swear to it. If you are interested in finding out, I would try to contact them by phone or live chat.

A steady tripod and remote means of positioning/triggering. I use CamRanger and CamRanger PT Hub. Then I access remotely from either my phone or tablet and can avoid disturbing the subjects.

Make sure your camera is in the mode to use the remote. I had a problem as well at first and then realized my camera was not in the mode for remote use.

Sony sells a tripod with a remote, but it isn't wireless. It has a cord that connects to the camera. You can zoom, focus and take pictures with the remote. I have taken pictures of Jupiter and its moons and have some decent shots of Saturn (you can actually tell that it is Saturn even though there isn't a lot of detail). Without this tripod, it is frustrating trying to stay focused on somthing as distant as Jupiter or Saturn.

Sony's website does not offer a remote control, and none comes in the box. Sony's website does offer several overpriced tripods, including "detachable remote control," which likely include stop and start record, and zoom. In theory, you can remote control the device with your smart phone, but, as far as I can tell, this only works with phones that have NFC -- "Near field communication." That's becoming more common in smart phones but most phones don't have it.

I just sold a Canon SX210 and purchased the Panasonic ZS8. I wasn't happy with the Canon at all. The pictures came out good, but I found the controls awkward and poorly placed. Flash in upper left corner where you hold camera. It automatically pops up when you turn camera on. Can be pushed down. I like the Panasonic ZS8 much, much better.

Thanks, Spanky, for the info. The camera arrived the other day and it's awesome. As a matter of fact, I took some closeup shots this morning of a silver dollar, with the camera mounted on a minipod and room lighting. They turned out great. BTW, I used the iA setting.

Your welcome, I'm just now learning how to use my new Zi8. I think I'm really going to like it. I also bought an extra battery for it, from Amazon. A Kodak KLIC-7004, just like the one that came with it. I would hate to be taking videos and have my battery run out. I'm checking into buying another battery charger too.

OK, great, thank you! I just got the camera in the mail from RitzCamera.com, WOW what a awesome camera, and I got an excellent deal on it through Ritz! :)I am still "playing" with it but figured out most everything in one hour! I LOVE this camera!!!! :)

I got that too. I kept trying to insert and reset. Finally it said "formatting" and that was the last she wrote, i.e., the camera froze there. Packed it up and returned it the next day. I bought a (slightly) used Flip on eBay. I know opinions differ, but I had used (and loved) a Flip for years, had broken the lens and was looking to replace with something newer... hence the Kodak, which I found was shabbily made. Now back to another Flip. Even though Cisco dumped them, the Flip videos import as mP4's, and for my purposes, that works great and couldn't be happier with my new (used) Flip. Good luck!

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.
