  If your Sanyo Digital Camera image appears too dark, ensure that the flash isn't blocked by fingers or other objects. Also, make sure that you capture the image within the flash's operational range. If the subject is backlit, try using the forced flash mode, the exposure correction function, or the spot light-measuring mode. In cases of insufficient light, try adjusting the ISO sensitivity setting.

  Lisa SilvaAug 28, 2025
  If the image from your Sanyo Camcorder is not in focus, it could be because the subject is too close, the camera moved when the still image shooting button was pressed (camera shake), or the lens is dirty. Try capturing the image with the subject within the photographable range and select the correct focus setting. Hold the camera correctly and slowly press the still image shooting button halfway to lock the focus, then press it all the way to capture the image. Also, clean the lens.

What to do if my Sanyo Camcorder remote control doesn't work?
- L
  Laurie GarciaAug 27, 2025
  If the remote control unit for your Sanyo Camcorder doesn't seem to work, there are several possible reasons. Make sure the remote control unit is aimed at the camera’s remote control sensor within a range of about 30 degrees horizontally. Also, ensure that nothing is obstructing the space between the remote control unit and the camera’s remote control sensor. Check if the remote control unit battery is consumed and replace it with a new battery, ensuring the (+) and (–) poles are correctly oriented. Finally, make sure that you operate the remote control unit from a position up to 7 meters from the docking station and change the remote control code if the codes for the remote control unit and camera’s remote control sensor are different.
