Video /camera flash wont work . screen freezes

ok here goes my rant! Whats the point of having a camera and video it cannot be used in dim light? The light on my playbook does not work ( and to think this was the only picture taking device I took to a very special occasion !)>
Next the screen freezes so often I have to keep restarting it and lose whatever I am working on at the moment. To add insult to injury I am being told that I have to pay for support to get these hardware issues resolved (yes I googled it and there are hundreds of people with the same issue on their playbook) This is clearly a design flaw. Now I am a loyal blackberry user and have been for many years but your competitors are looking very good right now RIM you better do something fix these things. I am in the market to purchase again but I will be damned if I am going to purchase from the same company if I geat messed up again. (ps th bold just plain died black screen, now the torch panel fell off googled it and there are many others with the same issue) Do something RIM I love my blackberry products but my patience is getting thin.

You probably already realize but the pb does not have any flash or light for picture taking.
Now I've read about people using the led light on their phones to light up a scene so you could try that.

My ipod touch 5th gen flash light and camera flash wont work.

It stopped working yesterday and my ipod is only about 3 months old. I tried resetting everything and even a force restart but still the same thing. Is my ipod broken or is this just a bug?

Try (not knowing what resets you already did):
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Video camera for greenscreen work +

Hi. I'm going to be setting up an in-home studio for a weekly, 1 hour show (to be viewed on the internet, not sure if could ever get it onto public access stations but might like the option).
The studio will be 20' long by 16' wide (probably minus a carveout for a bathroom) - but will retain a 20' length for filming.
For noise control, planning to hang heavy black curtains on the sides and camera end, add some carpeting, and possibly some simple / inexpensive treatment on ceiling as well. Will either paint back wall green or get some chromakey material to shoot against. WIll have a desk with 1-4 people for the show, positioned 6-8 feet from the greenscreen, and the camera on the other end (roughly 12 feet away)
I'm trying to keep the cost as low as possible, but would like it to be a step up from my $200ish consumer camcorders (a JVC Everio and a Canon HV20), so I've been looking at some used Prosumer or Professional Video Cameras that would allow me to capture the 4:2:2 colorspace I want to do for improved Chroma Keys. (I have Adobe Master Suite CS6 and will be doing my work in After Effects and Premiere)
We have a Sony DSLR A200 which came with a couple of lenses, but don't have any additional lenses beyond that (or much camera experience - so all sugestions welcome).
Cameras I've considered include
Sony HVR-V1U which I can get locally for about $1000 or less; one just sold on Ebay for $800ish - I'm a bit reluctant to make that big of a purchase there, but might consider it if a well established seller / store - B&H suggested this camera didn't give you 'true' 4:2:2 colorspace via HDMI; Sony said it did give you the colorspace, what was lacking in these earlier models (or hmdi ports maybe) was ability to transmit full intensity data (for brightness)
Think I might need to buy an HDMI Capturing device to get the 4:2:2 signal - Atomos Ninja 2 runs just under $700, lets you record directly to Hard Drives so fairly inexpensive option for massive storage; Have also seen a variety of products from Blackmagic (Intensity Pro - and Hyperdeck Shuttle - ranging from $150ish-$350ish)
Canon XF100 is newer, seems to be a superior camera. Records onto generic Compact Flash cards (which could help limit expense and make for easy editing); and meets 'broadcast standards' of 50Mbps at full HD, and might not need external HDMI capture - saw these at B&H for between $2000 used, $2500 new; Currently listed for $2100 at 42nd Street Photo.com - which looks legitimate as best I can tell.
Heard BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera mentioned as well - much cheaper, roughly $1000 for new - but seemed like those might need a variety ofa dd o (dont know if compatible with my Sony lenses) - and require fast (expensive) SD cards
Would welcome any advice about good video camera for greenscreen work - along with any experience on the Atomos Ninja 2 or Blackmagic products retailed above (and any tidbits on setting up audio/video studio; will be recording some music in there as well)
Thanks

It's a trade-off ... which is to say, it's like Life in general, right?
That many people that close-in is gonna be awful tight. Two people, ok ... three pushing it ... four is gonna work you some. Getting talent any farther away from the background given the limited distance the camera can move is not likely, without getting too wide a view from the cam exposing off-screen areas.
As to the screen blending into the floor ... you can affix the front edge out from the wall such as to get a curved shape that can visually blend wall into floor, you need a good two-feet radius to pull it off though. And if someone steps back, um ... yea, screens and photog's background paper can easily get a fresh new hole in them.
The "cove" backdrop support is a common commercial photographers tool ... needs to have at least a two-foot radius to be able to blend it visually from floor into wall. Often made by cutting 1/4" ply into 4-foot squares, then drawing a circle on them with a 2-foot radius, cutting out with a jig saw ... resulting in four corner sections that will be used for building the cove itself. Each with that radius of a circle cut out of it. Screw some small wood blocks onto the straight sides, using these blocks to fasten the cove-form sections to the wall and floor, then maybe three blocks flush with the edges of the cove one in the middle of the arc, then equidistant each side from there. Measure from an inch or two off the cove form onto the floor up flush with the bend of the cove and an inch or two past the cove-form up the wall. Cut a strip of 1/4" ply or masonry board or whatnot (some short of thin bendable but tough sheet good) that fits this dimension, push them tight to the form and screw through the sheets into the woodblocks on the cove forms.
Then your screen material can just drap over it and you won't step through it. We built one for our studio, it's 12 foot wide, works great ... and put two layers of 1/4" ply over it, the first stopping just at the edge of the cove form, the other going past that another inche and a half or so.

Could you capture your screen and post it. Have the layers panel open and any layers that are collapsed, expanded. We will need to see the entire screen, as some information in the tab is important as well.

Flash wont work in firefox 4 beta OR 3.6.3 in ubuntu

okay i got firefox 4 beta 11 and noticed flash player wasn't working. I decided to fix it later and went back to the version i previously used.
Flash wont work on there EITHER!
edit: firefox 3.6.3

If it is about a problem with a Firefox 4.0 beta version then you may need to post in the Firefox Builds forum on that site.

I have an iPad 4. How do I get the camera flash to work?

Uh, a flash is a piece of hardware. Software cannot make up for a lack of physical hardware.
Maybe go to Home Depot and get a couple shop lights?

Which Sony Video Camera's will work with Final Cut

Hi,
I'm getting *Final Cut* and can get +Sony Video Camera's+ at a discount, but like to know which +Sony Video Camera's+ will work with *Final Cut* or should most work without any problems?
Thanks,
Sal

You got to do better than that.
Any idea on the TYPE of sony video camera's available to you? They make quite a few.
I'd stay away from anything with a DVD in it... also HDV can be tricky too... but not undoable.
What are you looking for?

First, double tap the home key and close off any apps that are in the task bar. You are really looking for an earlier instance of camera or photobooth that is still there. Then reboot the pad. Hold the sleep and home buttons until the apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider.
Then try the app again.
This has been happening off and on well before ios 5.

In Firefox 4, how do I change the order of plugins on the Add-ons Plugins manager page (I turn Shockwave Flash on only to see videos - having it off prevents screen freezing - and so I want it stay at the top of the list)?

Hit Ctrl+0 (That's a zero, by the way). I'm not sure if it will work, but hey, that's the first thing I would try.

Has anybody experienced camera drivers wont work after calling Camera.getCamera() so many times?

Using Flash Player on Windows machines, since version Flash Player 11.4 - Flash Player 15 (ActiveX version), and every version after that we have experienced an issue in which Hauppauge PCIe cameras and Videology cameras or other non-standard cameras fail to work with Flash Player after calling getCamera() so many times. For example, we get the camera, and publish a netstream for 10 minutes, then we set the camera to null. Later we call the camera again and after doing this 25 times, or 100 times, the camera driver just seems to fail, and Flash Player acts like it is streaming the camera, but the NetStream info indicates that zero bytes of video data was streamed indicating that there were no pixels that came from the camera.
Has anybody else experienced this issue to where you have to restart the browser or the Windows process in order for Flash Player to be able to getCamera() properly again?

Yes, it appears that others have experienced a similar issue. Adobe has not yet confirmed that this is a bug, but it is being tracked here:
Bug#3850401 - Handle leak with video.attachCamera leading to inoperable camera

Front video camera is not working on my iPad4.

Just recently noticed my front video camera not working when I tried to facetime with a friend. They cannot see me, and a blank square comes up as our picture. When I open facetime the screen is just black. If I open the camera, then switch to video, then switch to front the shutter closes and never opens.
I have tried to restart and also reboot. Neither have worked.
Thanks.

Have you tried closing the Camera app via the taskbar and seeing if it works when you re-open the app ? From the home screen (i.e. not with the Camera app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

Camera Flash not working on N95

Hey everyone hopefully you can help me out. I received an apparently water damaged N95 (only know this because of the red water indicator, internally the phone looks very clean with no signs of corrosion anywhere).
Everything on the phone is completely functional apart from the camera flash in any setting. I have replaced the whole camera lens assembly with flash LED and ribbon from another working phone but STILL it does not work. I have also done a firmware update.
Im guessing ive tried everything and its a mainboard hardware fault?
Can anyone advise me on anything else or how i would go about fixing the problem?
Thanks in advance.
Andy

I forgot to mention the red light comes on when recording a video but thats all. :mansurprised:
Im going to phone a nokia repair centre tomorrow, tell them everything ive said here and see what my options are, if any. Does a nokia repair centre repair phones down to component level or just scrap the motherboard for a new one? Not much of a repair centre if they do.
Anyhow ill see what happens.
