Sony Bloggie MHS-TS20

Recently purchased this Bloggie from Costco. I have taken both video and still with this camera and have installed the software on my computer. I connected the Bloggie to my computer via the USB flip and expected it to upload my video and stills. After leaving it connected for 2 days, the Bloggie still hasn't uploaded most of my video or stills. I don't have much video or stills so I can't imagine it would take so long to upload. I don't get any error messages, just a box saying "importing". Any ideas?
Thanks,

SONY Bloggie MHS-TS20 install issue

I bought a SONY Bloggie Touch MHS-TS20 and am trying to launch the software. I get so far as installing it and says 'starting', but then i get directed to a google chrome page that says:
" oops! google chrome could not connect to localhost:2468" then nothing. I've tried un-installing it and re-installing but I get the same error message everytime. I'm using an HP with Vista.

Hello All,
Out of curiosity - Have you tried to disable the Firewall software prior to installing the software? I know when I did the install (I don't use google chrome) but Windows Firewall did require that I "Allow" the bloggie software access to the internet.
Try disabling your Firewall software be it Symantec, Norton, McAfee or Windows - Then install the software and see if you have the problem.
In Peace and Agape,

Problem with SD card and Sony Bloggie MHS-CM5

I have just bought a Sony Bloggie model MHS-CM5 and a SanDisk SDHC (number 4) 4gb card. For some reason when I turn it on, it was saying "error formatting sd card" or something very similar. I did some research and saw a problem somewhat similar, tried connecting to my computer, taking the battery out and back in, formatting card from camera options, and now it is saying there is no space on the memory card when it is brand new. I am fairly good with these things and I am stumped. Any help is greatly appreciated!

A SDHC type 4 4GB card should work fine with your bloggie, so try the card in another device and try another card in your bloggie to establish which is having the issue. If you find that the bloggie is having issues with several different cards it may need service. Give Sony support a call and they will be happy to help:

Sony Bloggie MHS-CM5 need to completely disable SteadyShot

Has anyone discovered a hack to completely disable SteadyShot, the motor? Even when shooting 720p at 60fps where the SteadyShot is suppose to be inactive I find it still on. Unfathomably, using the camera on a tripod actually gives me a shakey picture (not to metion a loud adiable grind sound everytime the SteadyShot kicks in), which makes the camera footage worthless. At this point I am finding it hard to believe this camera ever made it to retail as the SteadyShot completely ruins the picture and adds the kinda noise to the audio one woudl associate with old film cameras. It's really, really bad. If anyone knows how I can kill the SteadyShot completely I'd appreciate it.

Hi Eliah,
Welcome to Sony Community!
There is an option to turn OFF Steadyshot option under “Shooting menu” of the Camera. The camera shake reduction function works only in [640 × 480 30P] or [1280 × 720 30P] mode.
Information about this option is mentioned on page # 40 of the Handbook:

Thank you for your post.

Hello,
Welcome to the User Discussion Forums.
If you would like to use Bloggie Software with photos and videos previously taken and stored on your computer, click on the "Import" button located in the lower left hand corner and navigate within the Windows dialog to where your photos and videos are located.
Bloggie Software currently only supports JPG image and MP4 video formats for import.
As for headphones via HDMI, thank you for your suggestion, we will forward your comments for review.

Hi,
There is separate board for the Bloggie camera. I am moving this post to the appropriate board so that others looking for the same information can locate it under the correct board.
Now to answer your post, instructions regarding using the basic functions of the Bloggie Camera can be found in the supplied manual. However, detailed instructions regarding the different functions of the Bloggie camera can be found in the Bloggie Handbook included on its internal memory.
You can also download the handbook from the below link.
http://www.docs.sony.com/release/MHSFS1-FS2_handbook.pdf
Additionally, there are video tutorials available for the Bloggie camera in the “Videos & Tutorials” section of the eSupport website.
For instructions regarding installing and using the Bloggie software, refer to the below link to some great tutorials on the Bloggie that I found on the Sony UK website.

Sony Bloggie TS20

We purchased 3 Sony Bloggie TS20.
ON the box it's says 4 hours of recording, but the fine print in the manual says - continuous recording of movies is possible for approximately 29 minutes. also recording stops automatically to prevent the file size from exceeding 2 GB.
I need the cameras to video sessions of 45-50 minutes each.
Does anyone have suggestion of some other camera with will do?   (same type as this, small, sleek and simple)
Thanks

Bloggie MHS-FS3

Hi,
I just bought a Bloggie MHS-FS3 and I just had a terrible experience with the online support, one hour of question and nothing, please forgive e if I'm not in my best mood right now.
My Bloggie is connected wth my computer ad my computer is connected with a 3D TV. The camera comes with a sample of a guy in bike, I was able to transfer it to PC with Sony software and that sample works perfectly with my active glasses and my 3D TV (Samsung). Like all good 3D contend that I saw, that sample has "twin" images until you activate the 3D in the TV to merge the images.
The problem is that the movies that I shoot in 3D are not in that "twin" or double format. I can see them in 3D in the LCD camera, but they are not in 3D when transferred via Sony software.
I really need some help here, I think that this matter is not that difficult to understand, but it tooks one hour for a Sony professional to say me nothing.
I already did firmware ugrade (to 1.09 first thing I did) ad I don't have any problems with other 3D contents in my TV stremed from my computer.
Thanks, I'd appreciate your help.

Hello 3D fan
Welcome to the User Discussion forums.
If your subject is moving, or is too close or too far away, then the desired 3D effect may not be produced. Any of these scenarios can cause focusing issues that interfere with the 3D effect and prevent the video from appearing to be in 3D. Also The 3D effect is not as dramatic for subjects near the edge of the frame. Therefore, it is recommended your subject be positioned in the center of the frame when recording 3D video.
Try shooting 3D video at varying distances to determine what works best for you in your shooting situation.
Also here are some Tips for capturing 3D movies.
1. Hold the camera in a horizontal position.
2. Position the subject and background within the frame of the LCD screen.
3. Pan the camera left or right slowly, while confirming the 3D effect displayed on the LCD screen.
Notes:
The Zoom and SteadyShot functions are not available while recording 3D images.
3D shooting is only available for 1920×1080 size images.
3D shooting is not possible with the 360 Video Lens (MHS-FS3K only)

Sony Bloggie touch camera download to Ipad

Can anyone tell me if and how I can download videos and photos from my Sony Bloggie touch camera directly to my Ipad? I have tried doing it using the USB camera adapter kit and I get a message on the Ipad saying "Cannot use device. The connected USB device requires too much power".

I am using the camera connection kit USB adapter. Can't use the card reader because the camera doesn't have an sd card only internal memory. I have a gut feeling that the camera is trying to charge through the USB port (which is where it charges from) but the Ipad is showing that message because maybe something isn't set right on the camera. Thanks for the help though. Any further thoughts/ideas would be appreciated.

MHS-TS20 software problems

I have Windows Vista 32 bit (it's absurd that apparently they don't have a software for 64 bit).
When I first plugged the Sony BLoggie in, it looked like it was downloading some software but I did not perform any of the steps that were detailed in the instructions. I did not select "Setup Bloggie Software". Anyway, the bloggie eventually downloaded the movies but they suck. They are choppy.
Is the problem that I did not download the software using the steps in the instructions? Problem is, it doesn't appear the software is even there.

I have had the same issues with the Bloggie HD.
I tried to install the Bloggie software on my laptop. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit (a supported OS) and had nothing but trouble installing this software.
When the Setup_Bloggie.exe application was run, I encountered Javascript errors which prevented me from installing the Bloggie software on my computer. Being a systems administrator, I tracked down the javascript file that was being run by this program and attempted to bypass the Setup_Bloggie.exe program altogether (It turns out that the "Controls" object was having issues. I found the install program and went to run it manually. The install only got about 60% of the way before failing because it claimed to be missing files. I ran back through the code and found that a few files did seem to be missing.
At this point I contacted Sony's customer support (people you would expect to be at least moderately technical) to see if they could send me a link to a new version of the Bloggie Software. After an hour with customer service, I had lost my patience and received no help at all. I would go 5 - 10 minutes without any kind of response (This was over their online support chat client) and in the end he kept telling me to read the manual (which simply told me to run Setup_Bloggie.exe). Despite multiple requests to speak to an engineer, he just told me I should contact a different department. Rather than transfer me himself, he wanted me to call in later.
After a little while longer, I did manage to install the Bloggie Software on my own, but I still cannot get it to function correctly. If you receive error messages when attempting to install the software, try the following:
Please remember that I am a very experienced user. I would NOT recommend that anyone try this if they are not comfortable getting their hands dirty so to speak. Instead, I would recommend that we all push for Sony to release some software that works. I am not responsible for anything that may happen to your computer if you attempt this procedure.
1.) Go to the "Start" Menu and open the "Control Panel".
2.) Click on "Folder Options".
3.) In the new window, click on the "View" tab along the top bar.
4.) Scroll down until you see "Hidden Files and Folders". Click "Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives" underneath this item.
5.) Click "Apply" (Leave this window open. It is a good idea to click "Don't Show Hidden Files, Folders, or Drives" as soon as you finish this process.
6.) Open "My Computer" or "Computer".
7.) Find "Bloggie Software (J" along the left hand bar.
8.) Open the "conf" folder.
9.) Scroll down until you see "Setup" or "Setup.exe".
10.) Right-click on this item and select "Troubleshoot Compatibility"
11.) In the new window that opens, click "Start the Program...".
This will install the program. However, even after installing and updating the software, the software will STILL not recognize my Bloggie. I still cannot synch my camera with my computer.
Note that the updates require this same procedure, but you first have to find the updated software files (The same files that Sony would not provide me earlier) in your C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\" directory. Mine was titled 1293649297.
As for the camera itself, I found it to be a bit lacking in color saturation and contrast. Everything seemed a bit flat. Then again, I couldn't get Sony's software to work properly, so there may be something in there that can correct these issues.
All in all, I like the Bloggie HD for what it is. It's a (relatively) cheap, pocket video camera. I wouldn't use it to shoot anything serious, but it's great for those times when your boss takes you to a "unique" restaurant and the food is still moving. Assuming Sony ever fixes their software issues, this could be a great product.

Flash in Sony Bloggie Touch?

Hello.
I got a Sony Bloggie Touch as a present. Is it me or does its digital camera not have a flash for dark shots?
Thank you in advance.

Hello Ant and welcome to the Users Discussion Forum.
The Sony Bloggie Touch doesn't have a built-in flash or light to assist dark shots. However our newer line up, the the Bloggie Live and Bloggie Sport have a built-in LED video light so you can shoot in total darkness.Thanks. I guess it can't be used as a real camera then.

Importing Sony Bloggie camera's MP4 videos?

Hello.
Can iPhoto '08 and '11 import MP4 video recordings from a Sony Bloggie camera? I tried this on an old 15" MacBook Pro with its updated Mac OS X 10.5.8 and its preinstalled iPhoto '08. It detected them in iPhoto, but can't play? However, opening MP4 in Finder for QuickTime seems to work. Will Mac OS X 10.8.3 and iPhoto '11 have the same problem? Basically, iPhoto is like with photo(graph)s to keep in collections.
Thank you in advance.

Terence Devlin wrote:
If QuickTime can play it then iPhoto should too. Are you sure the exact verion of the OS on that machine? iPhoto08 and 10.6 had a problem playing videos, but not 10.5
Well, I tried to play them when iPhoto automatically appeared after connecting and turning on the camera. Note that I have not imported them yet. If I try to play them through Finder, then it works.

Sony Bloggie Live - Facebook uploading.

I am attempting to log into Facebook with my Sony Bloggie Live. After inputting my Facebook login information a Pop-Up appears that says "Please close this window and return to the application".
While I am able to hit the close button when I have the Bloggie connected to my computer using PlayMemories, there is no close button when uploading using just the Bloggie.
How do I resolve this problem?
Thank You in advance to whoever can help.

Hi Elizabeth,
Welcome to Sony Community!
Make sure that you’ve registered your access point with the Camera. Try turning OFF and ON the Camera. Also, try to share videos using different sharing sites and check if it works.
Thank you for your post.

Sony Bloggie compatible?

I have recently bought a Sony Bloggie which I was assured would download footage to my iPad but when I plug it in it tells me the USB device needs more power. Is there a way round this? Thanks

I was told today by Sony that the Bloggie touch is not compatible with the Ipad. Some of the earlier models are.?? The engineers at Sony are working on a fix for this and are hoping a firmware update will do the trick. We'll be waiting!!
