Video problems when I take pictures with my camera it shows up on the memory card, but when I record videos and try to view it the camera sais memory card error and later it says data corrupted. How please can I fix this?

The manual says:

Problem with selected image
Use photo retouch software, etc. to view the image on a computer. If the image still cannot be viewed, the image file is corrupted.

But try this. Switch of the camera, remove the battery and memory card. Check if all contacts are clean and shiny. On the battery, on the memory card and in the camera. Then replace the battery and memory card and switch on.
I hope this solves the problem.

I don't understand what you mean with shift it to capture / camera mode.
To make a video, you press the button on the back side top right. To stop the recording you press the same button.
If you want to make a picture, you press the button on the top of the camera, that is inside the zoom lever.
When you want to view what is on the memory card, you press the button with the arrow, point in to the right, jut above the arrow pad on the beck of the camera.
Make sure you have a memory card in the camera.

I'm going to say the memory card first if you have used it before to record video then the card is corrupted and needs formatting to the camera it is being used in. Download your still pictures first then format the memory card. If this is a new card again down load pictures and format the card in the camera. The last possibility is the memory card write speed is slower then the video so no it can't write to it. Sounds confusing but really if the card was working in the camera then doesn't now then it needs to have the memory card formatted.

The problem is with the card, it may have been locked here is a diagram to show you the slide switch

Also each time you use the memory card it should be formatted, Format all new memory card to the camera it will be used in and each time you download the pictures to a computer format the memory card to provide a clean medium for additional picture files

of course not. What's your problem actually? Have you correctly connect camera to computer? Or does you camera have a memory card?

Refer this article to import camera files to computer.

As for the video goblins: Have you tried reformatting the memory card (in the camera)? It sounds like a built-in advertisement, though www.jpg.com redirects to a site called accusoft.com which DOES do imaging software. Was it a free card from some promotion, or perhaps an off-brand card? Have you tried a different memory card and got the same results? I have an S700 and use it almost everyday, with different capacity and brand cards with no problems. Was the camera purchased new from a reputable dealer and came with a warranty (NOT "open box")? If using a different memory card doesn't solve your problem, I would tend to think that someone "flashed" the firmware in the camera before you got it and added those lines at the top and bottom of your videos. Does it do it when you are just taking pictures and not videos? Have you tried a different viewer program on your computer? Some freebie software video programs put watermarks (your ghostly lines of text at the top and bottom) into the video until you purchase the unlocked version. Do these text lines appear when you are viewing the video in the camera also? As for the "clicking" sound, I am at a loss because there is nothing "motorized" like in the old days of film when a motor was actually transporting the film through a shutter gate and sprocket wheels. No mechanical movement in digital photography, except when using the optical zoom. Is your lens cap swinging in the breeze and striking the camera body? Is the clicking sound steady and constant, or intermittent?

Are you using the same card reader for both memory cards? It's probably just your card reader. I had this problem before and it turned out to be my usb cable for my psp.

Hi,

The picture that I posted shows a TZ3 mode dial. I added a blue arrow to point out an icon on the mode dial.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Turn the mode dial on the camera so this icon is selected.
2. Switch on the camera.
3. Aim the camera at your subject, press the shutter button halfway to focus, then press it fully to begin the video. (Just as you would take a picture.)
4. To stop taking video, press the shutter button fully again.

~When a video starts being taken, its current length will appear on the camera's LCD screen.
~Videos take up more space on the memory card than do pictures.
~If an SD memory card becomes full while recording, then the video will stop automatically.
~Videos can be played back on the camera's "PLAYBACK" mode. They can also be viewed on a TV or downloaded to a computer.

Seems like its time to flush the contents of the memory card of camcorder to a computer.
There's a limited amount of memory in every memory card. After constant recording, the memory  gets full and the recorded stuff needs to be either deleted or flushed (uploaded to a computer) to make room for newly recorded stuff.

Unless you have a blank memory card, your problem should be solved by the above mentioned idea.

I have The same problem with my S6, and was wondering if you found a solution? Ive done everything but contact Nikon or a camera shop.
