Samsung Digital Camera Troubleshooting

Most problems occuring with Samsung digital cameras can be rectified with simple troubleshooting steps.


Many of Samsung's digital cameras now come with two screens. A screen on the back of the device displays photographs and videos while a screen on the front provides previews for a posing subject or during self-portraits. A common problem occurs with dual-screen Samsung digital cameras when the front-facing screen fails to turn on. Other problems include fuzzy images and abrupt shutoff. Fortunately, most problems are easily rectified with a few troubleshooting steps.


Instructions


1. Tap the front screen. Light tapping will often cause the front-facing screen to come on if it hasn't.








2. Smile at the front-facing screen when taking a self-portrait. The Samsung digital camera automatically detects faces and will release the shutter when it detects a smiling face. The camera indicates a frame around the face when it is detected.


3. Check the battery. Make sure the battery is charged and properly inserted if the camera won't turn on or if it turns off suddenly. Batteries sometimes lose power more quickly in cold weather. If it is cold, try taking the camera indoors. Video will use up more power, also. If you have been shooting video, try recharging the battery.


4. Delete unwanted images on the memory card. If the camera won't take photographs, the card may be full.








5. Clean the lens if you get blurry shots. Blow dust off the lens with a bulb blower, available in lens cleaning kits. Apply a couple drops of isopropyl alcohol onto a lens cleaning tissue and wipe the lens. Use a circular motion and work from the outside edge of the lens inwards.
