Hi - I just received my SL30 and can't figure out how to get out of the menu screen and back to taking pictures. It says press the menu button to exit, but it doesn't work like that. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

If you hit the "last" button again, it should take you back to the channel you were on before you hit the button. when you lost the picture, was the screen blue? black? If you hit the "menu" button, does the menu come up?

How to Fix a TV When the Screen Is Green


A TV is calibrated by the factory to provide a "standard" picture that attempts to appeal to the vast number of buyers who take the set home. To adjust a TV picture that is too green, you must first enter the hidden "service menu" that technicians use. Adjusting the colors to remove the green cast will save you the cost that would otherwise be incurred from a TV technician coming to your home. No special tools are needed, nor any expertise in how the TV works.

Press the power button on the remote of a TV whose picture is too green in order to turn it on.

Press and hold down the "Menu" key until the manufacturer's logo appears on the screen. This could take up to a minute or more. Release the "Menu" key when the logo appears.

Immediately press the "9," "8," "7" and "6" keys in this order. Press the "Enter" button on the remote to enter the "Service Menu" screen.

Press the "Menu" button to go to the second of the two "Service Menu" screens. Press down on the "Down" arrow until you highlight "Color Calibration." Press the "Enter" button to enter the "Color Calibration" screen.

Select one of the color bars on the screen. Adjust the color by changing the values of the color bar by pressing left and right on the "left" and "right" arrows on the remote. Repeat this procedure with the other color bars as well. Stop adjusting the colors when the green cast is no longer present.

Press and hold the "Power" button on the remote to exit the "Service Menu" and save the adjustments you have made. Turn the TV off.

Sounds like fresh batteries are needed, or charge up the rechargeable batteries, if that's what you have.

If the above doesn't fix the problem, it may need service at Samsung.com.

Try disconnecting the power for a minute or two. Usually it doesn't take long to swich between functions.
To get the Seup menu on the screen, you first need to press the Receiver button before pressing Setup. Did you do that?

That's about par for a moving subject. After you press the shutter button, the camera has to focus, meter the exposure, estimate the color balance, and more. You can reduce the so-called "shutter lag" by anticipating the action, pressing the shutter button halfway to focus and meter, then pressing the button the rest of the way when the action peaks.

One of the myriad advantages of higher-end (and higher-cost) cameras is the speed with which they respond.

Press the menu button and navigate to screen option and make sure it is on. If nothing shows up when you press the menu button, the screen may be defective.

press the DISP button, your picture should come back up.

I finally figured it out!!! There is a button on the right-hand side of the camera, which switches it from normal mode to simple mode. Just press the button and everything goes back to the way it was...

This may be a dumb idea... but did you accidentally turn the screen off? Don't ask how I know this...

Could be as simple as a software upgrade if the picture looks okay after it come on... What software version are you currently running?
