Before you give up, are you sure the internal battery is charged? The green LED should turn on when connected to the PC. If it doesn't, then either the battery is fully charged (doubtful) or the USB cable is defective. You must charge the battery for 2 hours min.

Format your card with SDformatter using an external card reader.

The PC won't recognize the camera if the camera doesn't recognize the card, so the first step is to be able to record.

I Charged it for 2 hours until the green light was off. Used various USB cables. Pc just wont recognize the camera, regardless of system or device. SD Card Formatted numerous times. Will send it back tomorrow.. another 4 weeks of waiting..

Thanks for your help anyways...

Tell the seller you are sending your camera back for replacement and ask him to send you a new camera asap. He'll ask you to pay for the replacement camera, but he'll refund you when he receives your defective camera.

That way you'll only need to wait 2 weeks, assuming a fast postal service.

For the types 2 and 3 above, I find Auto WB is ok, since fade to gray from gray is a non issue LOL. All other settings at mid point. But as I said, I don't do much of that.

I am a photographer and have a displays that are kept calibrated. That said, I prefer a warmer picture.

I have a similar setting to the poster quoted above.

First, manually set White Balance to ensure no shifting of colors while recording. Ignore the naming. I prefer Fluorescent for color temp.

Then I select Low for the Contrast. Gives the perception of a higher dynamic range.

I like my saturation set at Normal.

For Color Options, I bump it up to Warm for keep at Normal.

That's my perfect formula for the 808#16 Lens B. (Firmware 0.67)

new 808 #24 1080p coming up?

OK, the possibility of a new 1080 camera has been announced. When or if it actually is being sold, someone can start a new thread on it. To avoid confusion, can we keep the discussion here focused on the #16 HD camera please?

Thank you for that Tom. I bought four of these cameras in the last four weeks for family members and friends.

We can't use an explanation or exploration of something we don't have now.

Thanks again,
DJ

Sorry, I miss read the situation.

I have all the codecs you can imagine. I just don't have the processor speed to handle the new formats. I have to convert them to a lower data throughput to get them to work and then I use a lossless codec like Huffy to edit. they get big in a hurry.

When I first got mine I thought there was a problem with the USB cable or connector as my PC wouldn't recognise it; took me a few seconds to work out that you actually have to turn the camera on before the PC will 'see' it. This may be obvious to some (if I had of read the manual it would have been obvious to me too :-) but it had me scratching my head initially, especially as my old #3 didn't need to be switched on for the PC to see it.
