Mode dial won't read

After using my Toshiba PDR-M500 for 3 years, I haven't experienced any problems. Lately, it's been cranky, especially with the mode dial. It reads the "playback" setting as "downloading to computer"--that is, if it reads it at all. (When it doesn't read, it's just a blank screen.) It reads the "manual photo" setting as "movie" and won't read the "automatic setting" at all. Once in a while, it refuses to turn on or off. The "tools menu", "download to computer" and "movie" settings consistently function, but it doesn't do much good for taking stills. The crazy thing is that if I turn on the camera in "movie" mode, then switch the mode dial to "manual" or "automatic" it stays in "movie" mode until I go to "playback". Suggestions? Time to get a new camera?

SOURCE: Poor exposure when using the flash

I read in another Toshiba forum where some users were putting a small piece of electriacal (black) tape over the flash sensor, and their indoor photos with flash turned out spectacular, since it allows the camera to apply more light . Actually fools the camera but it works. You might want to experiment with it..

Nothing happens when I use the camera buttons and switches.
There could be 2 reasons for that: 1. Camera malfunction - Remove the battery or AC adapter once and retry. 2. The Mode dial has been moved to another setting - Remove the battery, re-insert them and try again.

A flash problem
there could be a few reasons for that: 1. The Mode Dial has been moved to another setting - Set the Mode dial to the correct setting. 2. The flash is set to Suppressed Flash mode - Set the flash to Auto, Red-eye Reduction or Forced Flash mode. 3. You pressed the shutter button while the flash was charging - Wait until charging is complete before pressing the shutter button.

Better Focus
There are several factors that can contribute to getting better focus and improved results. 1. Auto Focus / Auto Exposure lock. Press the shutter button down HALF WAY. The camera will attempt to adjust exposure to the current lighting environment for maximum benefit. Then the camera will automatically correct the focus based on objects in the center of the display. This process usually takes about two to three seconds. 2. Be sure not to cover the sensor on the front of the camera with your finger. This will disable the automatic focus and exposure controls. 3. Only us the MACRO MODE for CLOSE-UP photography. Be sure to use MACRO MODE if you are taking pictures of an object at less than six inches away. Be sure not to use Macro Mode for Normal Photography. Using MACRO MODE improperly will result in poor focus (also known as 'fuzzy pictures').

Why does the night vision lighting not work on my Cobra RXCamView? I have 2 cameras paired to my IPhone. The camera light stays comes on at night and periodically displays a brighter view at night that i can see when I view them on my APP. One of the 2 does not light up at night. Is it the camera, 2 months old or something in my settings that was changed?

Pixpro AZ528 brand new doesn't turn on Yesterday I bought a Kodak Pixpro AZ528, got it home put together, and it wouldn't turn on. When plugged into the wall the screen said battery 100%. The charging indicator then went off. Unplugged from wall, still wouldn't turn on. Returned and got a different of the same camera, and it's doing the exact same thing. I've tried resetting while plugged into the charger, holding power button 20 seconds (as suggested somewhere else) to no avail. Seems weird that two of the same brand new cameras wouldn't work. Any suggestions?
