My camera is in smart mode and won't let me do anything, like change the mode or even get into menu, I can't review or trash.

TO CHANGE THE PTP MODE OFF IN SAMSUNG ST150
1) Turn the camera off
2) Hold the zoom out (-), flash button( PHOTO TAKING) and the Menu button.
3) While holding, turn the camera on.
4) When the camera turns on, it will show a text screen
5) You can let go of the zoom out and the Menu button
6) Press the Menu button
7) Press left. This will turn PTP Mode off
8) Turn the camera off and on, and you're good to go

Press your menu button. This will bring up several options and one of them should be a trash can symbol. Some cameras require you to switch to review mode before you can access the menu option for deleting.

Its a flexible key pad cable fault. Need cleaning or replacing.

Hello,
Please do the followings.

1. Turn off the camera.
2. Remove the memory card.
3. Remove the batteries.
4. Wait at least 3-5 minutes.
5. Place the memory card and batteries.
6. Turn on the camera in any mode except review mode.
7. Take any ordinary picture.
8. Change the camera mode to review.
9. What happened now. Is everything normal. if not please write a comment to explain the situation.

If it's anything like my A620, go into Review mode (there should be a switch between a camera picture and a triangle play icon - you want the triangle), and navigate to the picture you want to delete. Then press the button with the trash can next to it.

for anyone who wants to know how i solved my problem with the flash saying it cannot be changed...

If you go into the camera settings; look under rec mode. It might be in "burst" mode. Flash will only work while in "normal" mode.

press menu and the trash / delete buttons at the same time. Hold for 3 seconds until it beeps. WALA unlocked:):)

Yeah had me baffeled too. Press the 'menu' button then the 'trash / green' button, one after the other. It unlocked mine.

I fixed my problem myself. Simply read the top of the camera where it says TO USE SMART ZOOM SET IMAGE SIZE TO LESS THAN 2.8M
Then go to the very bottom button on your camera (there are three) and press it and reset your image size.Then your zoom will work.
Problem solved.
