Time Flies

Here's a great video made by a friend to the blog, Pika2001, using the interval record option. I think this is a really great feature that they included on this camera, something you don't see in the lower end price range.



I'm still waiting for the weather to turn so I can get out and have fun with my camera, but, alas, even though I'm in New Mexico, it's still cold. I'd share stuff from around the house, but my house is small and crowded and not terribly interesting.

What do you think are the FAQs?

Even though this blog doesn't get very many hits every day, I like to watch the trends and see what people are searching for when they come to it. Google has this thing where if a site is probably the most perfect match for what you are searching for, it just goes there instead of giving you the results. Interestingly, this blog is coming up more and more when people are looking for answers for their Samsung SC-MX20. I think it's kind of funny that a fan site gets more hits than the manufacturer.

But anyway, I thought I would try to build a little Table of Contents or FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) file for people to see when they land here. For whatever reason, Google isn't indexing all the entries here, so often people just land on the most recent entry which probably doesn't answer their questions. So I thought if I had a permanent entry page with links to the answers to the most common questions, that would go a long way.

Following is a partial list of questions I have put together. I need your help and input to round it out. What questions brought you to this blog? What questions are you still hoping I will post an answer for? Please send me your input through the comments.

FAQs

1.) Videos shot in widescreen mode do not appear in widescreen when transferred to my computer.

2.) Videos shot in widescreen are full of lines or blocky.

3.) I am unable to import my videos into Windows Movie Maker or other Windows based video editing program.

4.) How can I get my videos to appear in HD (720p or higher) when I upload them to YouTube?

5.) Video and audio seem to be out of sync on videos taken directly from my camera.

6.) Where can I download the user manual for the Samsung SC-MX20?

7.) Cyberlink MediaShow (bundled with the Samsung SC-MX20) problems and issues.

8.) I bought a new battery and it doesn't work. (You have to buy a Samsung brand battery.)

9.) Where can I get a fish-eye lens or other lenses for the Samsung SC-MX20?

10.) The night vision doesn't work. (It doesn't have night vision, just a low light option.)

Some of these questions have already been answered directly, others have a short answer and I may have answered them as part of another post. In the coming days I will try to link all of these directly to an answer. Please send me your comments and suggestions for other things that belong on this list.
