Comment on Samsung TL210 DualView 12.4 MP Digital Camera with 5X Optical Zoom (Red) by TicketMediaGuy.
Video Recording is limited,
LOVE the camera so far as I’ve taken it to a few theme parks in SoCal to understand it prior to the big trip to Australia… one thing I tried just recently is the VIDEO mode on the camera. Picture clarity was pretty good, and the sound came through as if I were there… ALTHOUGH… when you ZOOM in and out the sound cuts out.
From Samsung’s troubleshooting page and manual it acknowledges the fact this will occur and the recommended fix for this is to first adjust the zoom to where you want it PRIOR to recording. I can’t fathom why one earth anyone would NOT zoom in and out of a live event, so this actually mind boggles me. I suppose if you’re using the video recording feature to do a movie that you’re editing later, then yeah… you don’t zoom, but for the average everyday user this seems highly unacceptable. The point of the camera seems to be this: Takes pretty good snapshots, has a front LCD display so you can take shot of yourself, and the lens is pretty decent. This is NOT a camera to be shooting videos with if you plan to zoom in and out of your subject area.
