I have the samsung s630 and i have an issue. It works just fine, but the the other day I tried to put back into the camera pictures that were downloaded to my computer (PC). the pics show up on the camera drive on the comp, but when i disconnect the usb and try seeing it on the camera it says “No image”. Again i connect to comp and the pics show up on the comp in the camera’s memory card (1GB). help please.

Hey

I also found that was a problem with this camera. I was really disapointed and annoyed!

However

Soon after doing some research on the camera i used Duracell Rechargables. They work really well! Use some of them and your problem should be over…

Also on the menu change the battery type from alkaline to the other options:D

Hope this helps =]

I have the S630 and my problem is that it doesnt seem to want to focus, say if I want to take picture of a room it is all blurry until I zoom in to a point where it is to close to be an acceptable picture. I’ve tried different scene settings, portrait, held the button half way to let if focus, nothing helps.?

thanks for any help

I know a lot of people will mistaken “format” as an option for either gif or jpeg pictures, but it’s not.

Good luck, Mona! Although I don’t think you will get the full retail amount back, not to mention many retailers have a ‘no-refund after 1 week’ kind of policy. You have a better chance if you approach Samsung directly. Just my opinion so don’t hold my words to it.

Wow
after reading all the comments I should apologize to my daughter. Her complaints about the camera mirror every one. Low battery life, weve tried all, now the lens is stuck open, after this has happened before. The camera is 7 months old. I dont want it fixed I will be trying to get her money back. Too bad, the pictures it took were good. I would not recommend this camera to anyone.

It seems that your camera has a malfunction.
At first when I bought it, I was wondering too about the short lifetime of the batteries (about 2 hours with flash). With rechargeable NiMH cells the problem was solved for me. I bought some cheap cells and switched the cameras’ battery mode from Alkali to NiMH. I also reduced the brightness of the display and the flash brightness. Now the time until “battery low” comes is about three or four hours, even with flash. I have three battery packs and run never more out of power.
Two things are bad with the camera: First, audio recording is muted in video clip mode when you zoom. That’s very bad. Second, video clips have low compression. 10 Minutes with 640×400/30fp and you have a 675MB “clip” file (you buy the camera with raw 16MB, remember). With xvid compression (available on the 830 model I think) this will have under 100MB with nearly same quality. But who believes they let you buy for 80 Euros a full photo AND movie camera ? - This is NOT a pro’s camera, but always good for some fun photos. Give it a chance, after its repaired.

I agree with you on this Bob. Bring it over to a Samsung Care Centre. They should know of this problem.

Mine worked much much better with rechargeable batteries but they never seem to last longer than 45 minutes.
