How to take the samsung pl50 video cam of standby

Have you actually formatted the card in the camera ? Just copying the photos does not remove them from the card

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.


The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.


Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa.

Consider NOT using a driver.

Sound like a problem with your LCD screen, related with the CCD Image Sensor; since that you can view mode and setting displays, isnt the LCD screenviewer.

The CCD Image Sensor isnt a job that you can do it, I suggest visit your techinician service or apply if has underwarranty.

Good luck.

Method 7 but have to give slight assist in the opening & closing every time. Everything else works as before. So far so good!!

No. This was designed as a camera, storing images (and videos) to a memory card. It was not designed to stream images live to another device.

There is a little sliding switch on the side of the memory card. Make sure it is not on lock.

The problem with mine was that the lens motor was somehow stuck. I gently pulled the lens out as I turned the camera on. It went back to normal afterward. Hope this helps
