Samsung PL120 Digital Camera - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Free software download
You don't need any special software.The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or, despite what I said first, you can use any photo cataloging program such as
Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ). Picasa can also do a more than tolerable job of editing and enhancing your photos.

ES90 ZOOM DID NOT OPERAT
If your camera does not operate as you expect, just switch it off, remove the battery for a few moments and replace the battery. Then switch on again.
If you (accidentally) touched the lens barrel, while using the zoom, the camera can act strange, because it tries to protect the hardware for extra damage.
If switching of and on again, does not solve the problem, you should contact a certified Samsung repair centre.

Zoom did not operate normally,insert
Hi had this problem with my WB100. Zoom would come out then pop back in and say zoom nit not operate normally, please put new batteries in and try again or contact bla bla. What i did when the zoom popped out is i held onto it and didnt let it retract back and turned it back on. It worked after that so i guess the zoom must of been a little forced in when it was in use last in when turned on it wasnt fully going forward. Worked for me so worth a shot

Update firmware
As long as Samsung does not offer a new update for the firmware, you cant' update. When you are smart enough to write your own firmware, you could flash that into the camera, but then you did not need to ask this question. For this camera Samsung did not offer an update yet.

Samsung camera PL120 wont turn on
Here are some troubleshooting steps that you can try that may (or may not) correct your problem. They only seem to work for less than 40% of the lens errors, but if the camera is out of warranty (or repair cost approaches that of the camera), they're worth that try. Some of the later steps do involve some risk to the camera, so carefully weigh your options before deciding to conduct them:And here's a video summary of the steps:

How to take off front screen
There is usually two reasons you get blurred photos. 1) camera
movement and 2) subject movement ... sometimes both. This happens when
the shutter speed picked by your camera is too slow and unless you have
the
digital hd video camera on a tripod, it has some kind of image stabilization scheme
and the subject is not moving, you will get blurred images.
I am surprised you picked a camera that cannot use your old SD cards.
Did you know that only Olympus and Sony do NOT use SD cards?
Samsung digital cam shutter not closing fully
Since it springs back then the part of the lens that opens it is broken.
Then lens covers are very delicate, but usually reliable.
If it's still in warranty, let samsung deal with it. They can usually fix
digital hd video cameras in a couple weeks and have service centres in major cities.
If it's out of warranty, try a bit of 100% isopropyl alcohol (see your
drug store) on a Q-Tip. Swap it around the lens cover gently and then
gently force the cover open several times. The lens cover should be a
little wet from the alcohol, but not so much that there are droplets or
puddles. Have some kleenex ready just in case of a little spill. That
should help to remove any dirt inside that might be affecting the cover.
If that doesn't work and it's out of warranty, then consider repairing
it. They will charge you for an estimate ($40ish). Consider replacing
it, particularly if the repair cost exceeds 50% of the replacement cost.
,my camara wont let me view my photos it says file error
First check whether your card is 'locked'. There is a small lock swith
with your card. If it does not work, you better check with another
memory card (if you don't have anymore, borrow from your friend). If
this works, then the problem is with the card, and this is the most
probable cause. It happens sometimes. If it still doesn't work, the
fault is with the
digital hd video camera, Take it to a authorised repair shop.
