When I record indoors is perfect,but when I record outside the images is looks too bright and the camera does not focus or use contrast to correct the problem of lights.
Any idea?? I tried everything following the entire manual, but the problem persist.
Thanks

Camcorder (Canon Elura 100) unexpectedly stopped to focus. It does not focus not in auto not in manual mode (in manual mode it tries to focus but it seems the range is too small so objects are out of focus). Any suggestions?

How do you change the auto to manual focus on the GZ MG330HU. The manual does not explain how to switch from auto to manual focus.

Another thing is that that maybe you move the camera to fast and blurring the image or there is too much light or too little light

Try setting the focus manually to infinity. Then, if necessary, slowly adjust it for objects which are in your shot.

I would check to see if your camcorder is set for autofocus or manual. If it got changed to manual by accident, that would explain it (you can USE manual, but you'll have to keep adjusting focus). If this isn't the problem I would take it to the dealer you got if from or a repair station.

SOURCE: camcorder won't focus

I hope I can offer a simple solution. If it doesn't work, then I'll I have to ask a few more questions. I know the GL has many buttons and settings and it can be confusing to keep an eye on all of them. Perhaps the camera was changed accidentally to manual focus? Can you check to see it is set to auto focus. If that isn't the case. When you say you can't focus, do you mean when you try to manually focus it, nothing happens?

Camera xsi rebel 12.5 megapixel won't focus with

Most entry level SLR cameras will struggle to focus in low light, especially with the kit lens. By rights the flash should popup and emit a flash pulse to help focus. This is called focus assist. You might have to consult the manual to check if this function is turned on or not.

My gs500s colors are bright pink and i tried changing white balance and nothing works

Try going into "reset" master mode. otherwise you need to make sure your camera is shooting on the right setting for the light you are using. For example, when shooting in daylight with interior light setting (approx. 3200k) your photos will look off color and yellow or pink because sunlight is 5600k approx.,. . . contrary while shooting indoors with incandescant lighting if the camera is set for sunlight exposure (5600k) the picture will look blue. Make sure you read the manual on how to white balace, but first take the camera out of AutoExposure settings to do all the settings manually. Auto focus and auto exposure are for rookies and these types of errors will happen. Always try to do manual iris and manual focus for best results zoom in and get your focus on the subjects eyes then zoom out and frame up your shot.

Hi Ramki

Camcorder can not be drop, maybe the brain damage and give the wrong figures to the camcorder and caused shot off and on.

I feel sorry about this bad situation, maybe if you have menu, see the trouble shoot, but I doubt it.
