  If pressing the record button on your Samsung Camcorder doesn't start recording, check if there is enough free space on the storage media. Also, make sure the memory card is inserted and the write-protect tab is unlocked. If the internal temperature of the camcorder is too high, turn it off and let it cool down. If there's condensation inside, turn it off and leave it in a cool place for about an hour.

  If your Samsung Camcorder automatically turns off, check if 'Auto Power Off' is set to '5 Min'. If so, and no button is pressed for about 5 minutes, the camcorder turns off. To disable this, change the 'Auto Power Off' setting to 'Off'. Also, check if the battery pack is low; charge it or replace it. Alternatively, use the AC power adapter.
