Top 10 Samsung L200 Digital Camera Questions & Answers

Ok. I have the samsung l200 but the cameras are very similar. I had the issue as well. When I plug it in it flashes red once, green once, then orange consistently. It would not charge the battery.

The fix was really quite unexpected. I did two things not sure which fixed it.

1. slide the cable into the camera slowly until the light turned red once, then pulled it gently in and out a few times.
2. as i plugged it in, I tried to angle the plug side to side sliding it to the left and right on a diagonal. I was hoping the pins would be touched differently when I did this which might reset something.

not sure which of these two things corrected the problem, but the camera is now charging.

I had the same problem - and wondered if if might be that the battery didn't have enough 'grunt' to close the lense - so I am charging it via the actual charger (rather than through the computer) and sure enough, I turned it on and then off, and the lense closed. The green light comes on when I plug the camera into the computer to download photos, and I thought this was therefore charging the battery, but maybe it doesn't charge it properly. Anyway, my lense is now closed and the battery is still charging (light is still red). Good luck.

Possible solution:

I had/have the same problem using L200 and SDHC memory card, called Samsung. Can't view certain pictures on camera or computer, camera freezes when viewing those certain pictures, green light flashing.

Samsung support told me that I needed to copy my (good) pictures to a computer first because a memory format will erase everything. Then format (menu->settings->format->yes) my memory card. Tried this just now and took some new pictures, so far so good.

Can I use my Samsung L200 Digital Camera As Web Cam?
What de software were needed?

the driver I understand it is for an elder version of windows...but the samsung master software works with all...and it probably has a driver inside...

I have just started having this same problem, which was in brilliant timing for my best friend's wedding, cheers Samsung!!

You can't. The L200 was designed as a camera, storing images and videos to memory, not to stream them live to another device.

I've sent back 2 phones with this exact problem. Came on here and found the solution on the blog from another camera. It works! Here it is:
Figured it out....the zoom lense, while in the open position, was a little out of line, thus preventing the camera from retracting it. After gently re-aligning the lense, it retracted properly and the camera resumed normal functioning.
So basically, wiggle the lens every so slightly then try the power button again. Hope it works for you!

If you have an extra batt?try to replace the battery then try to charge it again if flashy orange still appeared on the usb cable.,Maybe the usb cable have a problem due to broken pin.visit the service center near you.

it is most likely charging the battery.
