Can someone guide me through how to shoot a movie? I have many cameras...this is my first waterproof/fujifilm....I hit the red button and nothing.

I've no clue, & I know this doesn't have anything to do with it but 1. this isn't a normal Fuji camera made for the normal market; it's a walmart/kmart special, & honesly, my Kodak from about 8 years ago DESTROYS my Fuji in picture quality. There's NO setting on the Fuji that produces a decent quality photo. :( Mine just sits & collects dust...

I'm sorry to hear about your horrible experience, but it sounds like it was a very remote occurrence. I, like the several other people whose comments I see here, have had no trouble with my Lumix. I would follow Janet's advice; return the camera, and let the company make it right with you. Unless they are totally unethical, they won't want to leave you unhappy with their product. These are actually nice cameras. I'm sure they'll fix this for you.

I just got my camera back from the Cannon Factory and they said found that it was an internal issue, they replaced "something" and sent it back and it works just fine! Sorry this isn't a more helpful post for those of you without a warranty! I'll keep looking through my paperwork at home and see if they were more specific AT ALL in stating what the mystery "something" was that didn't work. Just wanted to update as I promised I would!

I've never had that problem although I do know that you really need to hold the button down until you hear the shutter click almost an old-fashioned film camera or the picture won't take. Hope you find a solution to your problem!

I just e-mailed Fuji to see if the delay was to add support for remote shutter capabilities (I know, wishful thinking!). Here is part of their response:"This model will still not support a remote release. On or around April 17th is when dealers should be getting their stock. We do not give exact dates because there can be unforeseen shipping delays."So, just 18 days to go...

make sure to read the film loading directions carefully, film has to be loaded when camera is on. If camera still doesn't work try maybe taking it in to a camera store and seeing if they can help you. If that doesn't work I would send it back. I just bougt this camera and I am not having this issue, so once you eliminate user error you may have received a glitchy one.

I think it's just maybe compatability with the camera type?I email/messaged Impossible Project about it. They said it was definitely the film's fault, not the camera's... But I don't think there's a whole lot that can be done to change it. They're old cameras and an old process, basically it's just not compatible. But the color film worked wonderfully. So, I'd say just use color film and steer clear of B&W;, even though that's kind of a bummer.

I called the phone number inside of the box on one of the papers to start my warranty. It was automatically started as of that moment. I would contact Fujifilm and make sure to let them know of your concern. If you have anymore trouble, feel free to ask again and I will contact my son, whom I gave my camera to and find out more information for you. Good luck.

I got the same one and it has the same problem it will take still shots but not any video.It might be a big in the software or a wire is loose some where in the camera.

I did get the camera and I am loving the quality of the recordings. I did the same thing that you mentioned above... I could only laugh when I read your post. Take care and good luck... By the way - you can download a free trial from Adobe's website just in case you want to test the software first.

I, too, am having shutter problems. I have had my D50 camera since 2005 and have close to 18K shutter releases. Now, it completely sticks, gives me an "ERR" message and then I have to click again to release it, but it will not take a picture. I have loved my camera since the moment I got it. Now I need to ship it to Nikon and wait for the estimate. $300 to repair it??? is it worth it?

I just received my manual a few days ago and haven't checked into all the camera will do. Will definitely try the action shot.

Thanks for the response. Have you tried recording a movie in low light?What type of Cannon are you a fan of? I'm looking for something to take good action pics at gymnastics meets and to record some movies of routines as well.

Thanks very much for the info., Les. I actually returned my camera when even Panasonic tech support couldn't fix the problem, but I later learned it was not a defective camera. I'll be buying it again in the near future as I think it's a great camera, and I'll be saving your message in an attempt to figure it all out. Also, too bad there's no flash button on the camera and that you have to go to the menu to fiddle with it. That's weird! (and too bad it doesn't pop up automatically, like my Sony) THANKS AGAIN!

i never got a shot of lightning with it. i gave up and saved up for a higher price one from a different company. i tried talking with the opteka company couldn't get help. it took over 800 pictures over the past month never got one good shot (no lightning). if you havent had it long i would send it back.

Perhaps you got some bad film, mine worked fine. I would suggest trying another film & if it happens again it may be your camera
