Problem: My camcorder won't focus on close-up objects

Your camcorder's autofocus is probably having problems locking on to objects in the foreground. In the settings menu, choose the macro function where available. You'll see it shown with an icon of a small flower. 0 out of 0 people found this solution helpful.

You need to back up your recordings. Copy them to a computer. If you record them to a DVD, don't rely on this to store your precious videos. Recordable DVDs degrade over time. 0 out of 0 people found this solution helpful.
Solution 1:
Your computer might not have the right software installed to watch the kind of video your camera takes. Install the software that came with your camera, or as an alternative, Google "VLC" for a great video player that will install on most computers and play almost all kinds of video. 0 out of 0 people found this solution helpful.

Problem: Batteries that came with XS7 camera only give me about 40 min. video recording. Does anyone have the technical specs on these batteries or where I can get new batteries to lengthen the recording time to 1.5-2hrs.

Problem: I've set everything up and taken a few videos but can't play anything Back on the camera screen. The touch screen doesn't appear to be working at all. I've followed the user manual but nothing's working. Please assist
- Had the same problem. Took it back to the store. Got another camera (xs7). The second camera had the same problem. I mailed Polaroid support and they advised me to take it back to the store. I then asked for a refund. I now got myself the gopro hero standard 2014 for R2000 (about! $150). Only after my problem did I take to the internet. If I did this before I got the camera I would not have wasted my time.

Problem: I unplugged USB from Mac without unmounting. LCD screen now frozen in 'MSDC' mode. No response by Power or any other buttons. No reset button (hole) found between USB and card slot. USB connection now gives no response.
Problem: Charging light stays on no matter length of charge and on/off button does not appear to be working. (This a new camera given as gift) Screen shows MSDC or PC cam but only when connected to computer and nothing when disconnected.
Video cameras can be quite difficult to repair yourself, you may want to think about getting the repairs done professionally if your camera is worth a lot of money.
Try not to touch or damage the lens, particularly if you are cleaning. Don't use tissues to clean a lens as they could scratch it.
