I forgot about the shutter!!!! Lolol i havent used mines in like two years and am using it now and forgot about the shutter switch! Thought it didn't work and forgot about it, wow thanks a bunch!!

[@MrBaldChronicles.]

lol that’s funny. Good thing you cough that

[@mosthighlatin1537]

Thank god cause i was about to take it to my camera repair guy! He's good, he fixed a pentax camera i had and did a fantastic job . I had given up . I watch you video but i knew it was just a review video and not how to fix the black screen , which i thought was the problem but them i heard you say" shutter switch button" and boom it hit me!! Lol

[@alcameron6071]

Nice video. I just bought a model 600 off eBay for $110. Came with the battery, the charger, and a 32 GB SD card already in the slot. Definitely a bargain.

[@MrBaldChronicles.]

Nice! Enjoy it. I still love mine.

[@cp1048]

@@MrBaldChronicles. hello Mr bald. The part of the plug that goes into the camara won't stay put. It slips out and now won't charge. By any chance would you know about this problem or should I just purchase a new one because I assume repairing it would cost just as much. Please help

[@MrBaldChronicles.]

That’s a first for me. Try light grit sandpaper on the tip of the plug, the metal part to rough up the sides. Maybe that will help it stick inside

[@cp1048]

@@MrBaldChronicles. I'll try that. It's good to know at least that if I purchase another one that I most likely won't have the same problem. I appreciate greatly your fast reply. Thank you and take care.

[@MrBaldChronicles.]

Yah but not sure why it would slip out unless the connectors on the inside of the camera are loose. With a rough surface on the tip of the plug, I’d think that would hold. Let me know what works. Cheers

[@OMNITEK]

they have them sometime $170 at brandsmart

[@gregorylock]

Mine has a bunch of pixel vertical lines in the viewfinder.

[@Garedot]

I just bought this R800 then found R700 , the main difference is that R700 can record in both AVCHD and MP4, but the R800 it just records on MP4. According to the manual AVCHD have crisp videos. both cameras are identical

[@MrBaldChronicles.]

Nice. Yah the R800 is a nice cam. Never researched the r700

[@Bredinskee]

@@MrBaldChronicles. The r700 has no Mic input

[@MrBaldChronicles.]

That sucks

[@Vendetta725]

​​@@Bredinskee That's odd. My HF R700 has both Mic and Headphone/AV ports. Plus the Mic Input Port also accepts "Line Level Audio" signal input. Obviously, you don't own the R700 there or else you'd know this.

[@EkeminiJacobs]

I need this badly but can't afford

[@MrBaldChronicles.]

Check on ebay or offer up see what kinda deals they got.

[@brianfields7815]

Do you know how to get the time stamp to display on the video playback option?

[@MrBaldChronicles.]

No I haven’t messed with that yet. I’m assuming it’s in settings.

[@juliano146]

Hey. Just bought this camera as well as an opteka with the main intent to just film mainly fisheye but even tho it’s on settings and says in the production description you can turn off image stabilization. With it not being able to turn off, all my shots will look terrible. Do you know what’s going on. Please respond ASAP

[@MrBaldChronicles.]

That’s a good question, not sure about that one. This isn’t a good fisheye camera. Even if you add the adapter the clarity is cut big time. It’s a great sharp camera though. Let us know if you figure it out.

[@juliano146]

@@MrBaldChronicles. in your settings, can you open the image stabilization tab, because it wont let me. It shows up but womt let me open jt

[@MrBaldChronicles.]

I wish I could help. I sold this a few months back.

I bought this camcorder a lot of times my laptop won’t recognize my SD card in my old Canaan😉on the same SD cars some of what l ideology another things it doesn’t ! It is maddening 😟when I read the directions and said to initialize the SD card what does that before I use it how do you do that ? I only have an older SD card that I’ve been using with my old Canon camcorder will it work on the new one? Thank you

Do it in the settings on the camera that will work

No

[@pdpolo5273]

How long the battery last? The one that comes with the camera?

[@MrBaldChronicles.]

The one that comes with camera is okay but the aftermarket lasts longer. Go aftermarket more MAH

[@pdpolo5273]

@@MrBaldChronicles. but at least last more than 2 hours?

[@MrBaldChronicles.]

I never tested the duration so not sure. But the bigger the MaH the better. I love my off brand batteries.

[@Vendetta725]

​@@MrBaldChronicles.After market brands are over rated. Original Canon BP-727 batteries last longer. But there are FAKE Canon BP-727 ones out in the market. So beware of these. Of course, these don't retain charges as the genuine ones.

[@wayneduchscherer4676]

How to you get canon rf-h800 camera to shoot for the 12 hrs continuously? Can't find any manual direction or KZbin advice? Thanks.

[@MrBaldChronicles.]

Well, I’m guessing you can only shoot as long as the battery or memory card lasts. You can only film with the battery, no ac cord or anything. If you find a way please share. Cheers

[@wayneduchscherer4676]

@@MrBaldChronicles. records fine even on ac but stops ever 30 minutes and must be restarted. Continuous recording up to 12 hrs. But doesn't say how ???

Oh I see. Yeah that’s a new one to me. I used it to make short vids 10 minutes long. Let use know how once you learn. Cheers

You can play it back on the camera or put the card in a computer. Great camera, enjoy it.

Can the camera be on while it is plugged in to charge ?

[@tomn8tr]

Yes

[@patriciagras3969]

my camera fell and the lens does not open..is there anything I can do? I have a canon vixi hf m31

[@MrBaldChronicles.]

That sucks. If the button doesn’t work you can manually open the lens if you don’t want to take it apart or pay for repairs. Let us know what you end up doing.

[@nelly_brown]

is there a night vision mode?

[@Vendetta725]

No, but the camera has about 3 to 4 lux sensitivity to light for low lit scenes. The resulting video isn't that good, unfortunately, as it tend to be grainy. I'd suggest additional external artificial lighting.

[@amanhaque3836]

How long cant you record in one go at 1080 and 60fps

[@MrBaldChronicles.]

30 minutes but someone in the comments said you can continuously record longer.

[@Vendetta725]

​@@MrBaldChronicles. Yes. Albeit, having to stitch up the resulting pieces of 30-minute video files together using a video editor like Adobe Premiere Pro, for instance.

[@mismail3612]

How can we pause video during recording

[@MrBaldChronicles.]

You can't

[@Vendetta725]

​​@@MrBaldChronicles.In a way, yes we can. Pressing the Play/Record button does not pause the video, yes. It stops the recording and creates a file. Pressing the button again restarts the video from where we left off. If we join the files together in a video editing app, it'll be like pausing the video at that point where we left off.

[@rigocornejo6003]

4k don't matter? Your video is playing in avc1 the only way for you to get vp09 is to upload 4k 60p but visuals really don't matter audio is king everywhere.

Does this use hdmi mini to hdmi?
