• Toshiba Camileo H20 required tripod connection part

  We have some Toshiba Camileo H20, who lend us to students.

  The connection at the bottom of the camcorder where it twists on the tripod was broken.

  I tried to get some replacement has not so far.

  I was in touch with Toshiba who say that it is not a design flaw that they used plastic instead of metal like other manufactured products.

  Basically, I was after this small part to make the students happy life again.

  Don t think that someone here would be able to help you mate as a general rule you must get in touch with the Toshiba authorized service provider your country if you have some problems with the material, or if you need a few pieces of hardware replacement.

• Toshiba Camileo X 100 low noise

  I do not know its only my camcoder problem or all Toshiba Camileo X 100.

  I noticed the same thing on my Toshiba Camileo H20, but in general the sound is OK and I can hear everything very well.
  Of course, it will be much better if the noise could be a little stronger, but that's OK.

  I'm afraid of what is normal and I don't know what we can do about Mr. you know, there is no setting for the microphone volume. So I think we have to live with it.

• Camileo H20 - strange noise throughout the video

  Hello.

  I today received delivery of my first camcorder, which as the title suggests, is a Toshiba Camileo H20.

  Overall, I am impressed with this little camera, but there is a problem that concerns me. After reviewing a video of test, I created to see what the quality was as I noticed a strange sound throughout the video. I struggle to describe, it's a bit like static/interference. The thing is that I already have some tests to find out what could be the cause of it, and I found nothing. Again, the camera records audio as usual, but this static/interference is there with her.

  At first I thought it's maybe because I'm close to electronic devices such as a TV and a PC, so I went in my new garden and filmed there, but noise persists. Then I covered the microphone to see if it makes a difference, but it didn't. I also tried different video modes, leaving the camera on a desk to record walking around a room and then I even resorted to transform a sound recording off altogether. The strange thing is that the camera has always been that noise when I play the video on my computer even if no sound is registered.

  I have a slight suspicion thinking he made this noise if the camera is moved. But if I remember correctly it makes the same noise when it was not moved on the desktop.

  Someone at - it ideas on how to solve this problem? Preferably not by reference. I would like to, but I don't have time because I'm going on vacation next week and I want the camera to do this.

  Thanks in advance.

  I'm downloading two videos on YouTube in VGA mode and 720 p. Once they are uploaded I will edit this post with the links.

  Quality cannot be correct because they have just the end of the download.

  Hello

  I have no idea why this strange sound appears, but I found in the manual of the user an interesting point.
  You can disable and enable the sound of keyboard and operating noise.
  In Submenue setting, press the button to go to the audio menu. Use the left/right keys to select ON or OFF. Press the menu button OK to validate the settings.

  The other point is that you said that this noise appears when you play the video on your computer. Maybe it's just a s codec problem.
  I remember that the sound on my movies created with the HD cam is really strange questions wore on the package of codec missing on my laptop. In addition, the player didn't manage HD sound.
  I chose the stereo settings and then the sound was ok

  I'm not very well if this might be a reason in your case but it s m worth a try
  Check the sound configurations and try to install some codec packs too

• Camileo H20 - a few questions and the new firmware?

  OK, many users know that it is one of the worst cameras, you can buy.

  Firmware is really sick, then, how to use it?

  To start, I'll repeat known bugs:
  -very slow development, so its impossible to zoom in/out
  -camera is not connector to plug in an external microphone
  -internal MIC is the gift of a hell, he died later, big bang.
  -Its hard to listen to the people, because internal microphone is sensitive as one of the worst last factory of China
  -light balance is crazy, the processor is switching mode light for fun in automatic mode
  -record is worse than much cheaper cameras and more, is probably preferable to buy an old camera from Sony again Toshiba

  I don't like Toshoba, because its my third bad product Toshiba.
  After good notebook Toshiba, I bought new a lot less good and the other and the camera. I think that production will only worse in 2005.

  Camileo H10 was also sick, but for this unit was out of usable software.

  Last year, I bought used Camileo H20 with part number PX1478E-1CAM on eBay and use it from time to time. I use it mostly to the outside because if there is no light in the room I m not so satisfied with the quality of the photo.
  Sound is not the best but not so bad, and in General, for this price the cam is OK.

  When I read the list of known bugs, the first thing I have to say is: you bought the bad cam.
  What you need is the cam of high quality and the price for this cam is around 700 Euros. I wish I had this cam too but I'll wait for prices to fall a little.

  Please note: Camileo H20 costs 140 Euros only. For that money, the cam is really OK.

  With laptops is the same: it depends on phone model. The quality for the Satellite C model is certainly not the same as that of the P of Satellite series. Best evidence is the price.

  In my country, we have a saying that applies: that cannot pick up the right product, must buy expensive. It is difficult to translate, but I think you know what I'm talking about m. ;)

• Problems of camcorder Camileo H20

  Hello

  Some time ago I bought the camcorder Camileo H20. It works well with one exception - update does not work with reliability. I will describe it more precisely. The camera has two modes of zoom: optical / mechanical that has a priority, and digital which takes place when the optical zoom reaches the limit. When I am running in the optical zoom range, everything works almost fine (almost, I don't expect a perfect quality of ~ 100EUR product), but when the camera's digital zoom, crazy things happens with development. It takes sometimes > 10 seconds in order to reduce the strong image. The problem occurs even when I zoom digital range only (I'm sure, zoom bar is clearly cut out on the screen). Being configured to maximum already, internal zoom lens camera should not touch the lens in such a case, but he does. I asked a friend who bought the same model of camcorder. He has experienced the same thing.

  Because the problem is with the range of the digital zoom, which has not broken lens, it's the firmware bug. Unfortunately I can't find new firmware for camcorder Camileo H20 on the Toshiba web site. The current (in camera) as follows:

  7020A8382L-A03
  D50T-Toshiba - 7 L - PAL
  SDK33 - 081112.0619
  17:07.03 Wednesday, November 26, 2008

  This message is addressed to Toshiba responsive and responsible staff who will deliver corrected firmware on the web site of the company (Toshiba offers firmware update for model Camileo H10, so a next to H20 shouldn't be a problem). If the answer will be "please visit our service center", I expect that (firmware updated) repair will be free as is plant bug present in all cameras with the same firmware, am I right?

  People say that Japanese companies dealing on the reputation and the quality of the products. I think that and wait for a response soon.

  > someone fom service told me I need to write the firmware again and that they didn't do it. After that, the device should work.

  I m really questioning the service guy who told you that who should have access to this firmware updates if it is the Toshiba service?
  Camileo H20 firmware is not available anywhere I checked the area EU Toshiba driver Options page and there is no such firmware.

  I guess you should replace the cam if the warranty is valid in the case that I put t think it can be fixed.

• Camileo H20 makes AVI files

The instructions are useless, but after watching carefully I ddiscovered 'profile 2' takes the S20 files and converts them to .mov format. You can set it to monitor the directory where you put the video files so that it starts the conversion as soon as they are here. The converted output can then be loaded where you want. +

• Toshiba Camileo S20 is broken

  Hi all

  I've had my Toshiba Camileo S20 since Christmas I was desperate for one, but everywhere was sold out, so I managed to find one on eBay for £130 so I just took it s been great.

  I made so many videos including one for my work (I walk dogs) and it was fantastic... now I think that maybe a little water slipped in there or something because now it doesn't read videos on the device when I record something then press play it fades just in white then the Toshiba sign appears on and it goes back initially to start to register again , I m aware because I got it on eBay that probably, the warranty will be invalid now I m wondering if I call Toshiba I could send them to fix?

  Any help would be great.
  Thanks :(

• Camileo H20 - sounds like a disc inside

  Hello
  can anyone help please?

  My fairly new camileo h20 does not work and I can hear what sounds like a disc inside clicking during charging.

  It stopped working during the filming of a very special moment, so not too happy about it. Even less happy about the fact that we can not find the reception and also a little irritated that I cannt find a troubleshooting section as the full manual is on a disk.
  My pc will not read the discs (well Yes, you have guessed a toshiba...).

  If someone could please take a look at the manual and make some suggestions, I would be very grateful.

  Thank you

  Hello

  S manuals for your camera you will find under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_manuals.jsp?service=EU&banner_id=DISCONTI NUED_DOWNLOAD_ARCHIVE
  Download and watch inside if you can find something interesting.

  Unfortunately, I don't have this camera and I can't help you with this, but you can contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and ask for help. Make a call, explain the situation and hopefully, they will be able to help you.

• I want to use the Camileo H20 as a webcam

  Hello

  I bought a Camileo H20 and I want to use it as a webcam.
  Some of my friends use video cameras as webcam in tunner tv mode so I bought a tv tuner too because in my country you can't find this cable with usb port and input jack to connect it via USB.

  Can U tell me how I can see the image on the LCD on the camileo h20 when connected to a tv tunner?
  I can see the image on the computer, but the screen remains blank.
  Someone knows how to do?

  Another problem is that it is not so high definition such that it had to be.
  You can see lots of channels on the screen, do you know why? Is this normal?
  Is this because I use the tv tunner?
  Can you help me please?

  I called toshiba in my country, and they won't help me.
  Pls someone help me thank you in advance

  Hello

  AFAIK the Camileo H20 cannot be used as a webcam. This feature is not available for this camcorder.

  With regard to the channels on the screen.
  I put t know exactly what you mean, but I recommend that you connect the camcorder directly to the TV and check the settings (60 Mhz NTSC or PAL 50 Mhz)
  In addition, you can save the movie in 720 p HD and Full HD 1080 p

  Maybe you should check the Full HD mode with a higher resolution.

  Last but not least the LCD screen of the camcorder does not appear when the Camielo is connected to an HDTV!

• Camileo H20 - registered file types

  Hello to all on the forum! : D

  I will be short and explain my problem: I bought a Camileo H20 in the month of August, which would eventually be sent back cause in 1080 p resolution, you could see a white pixel... This camera recorded videos. MOV files, so at first I was a little discouraged because if you want to edit the video, the conversion. AVI was inevitable!

  After obtaining the replacement unit, I realized happily that the output of this H20 was in. AVI format... BOTH PIS NO DECODER CANNOT READ THE AVI AS THEY ARE! Now, there are times that I wish I had the. Back MOV files, it is absurd that software can understand it's an AVI... Including EACH converter video I found and tested more than all the big guns like Vegas, first, after effects etc etc.
  I know that many of you guys have the same problem of the view do not decode properly, so we have to do something big and get an official response from Toshiba on a solution or something!

  Only solution I found is to encode the. AVI to Avi uncompressed using Adobe Media Encoder CS4 (which uses the ffdshow in my PC, but it is the only combination/decoder software that works well, other programs seem a little 'duplicate' the video during the encoding of what makes a mess) BUT this solution produces unwanted black borders to the output video (not even had any idea why these boundaries exist and I can not make disappear in any way)...

  If anyone has a solution or something that could help I would be grateful! (Again, maybe an * official * response would be great, because it's really strange that NO software can read this cursed AVI correctly, and I'm not the only one dealing with this serious problem)
  Thanks for your time, everyone!

  Hello

  I really put t understand what your problem is you say something about NO software can understand it's an AVI
  I m using a small player, free VLC player called.
  This player supports almost all possible file formats and plays avi as well.

  In addition, there is a great free conversion tool called; "SUPER".
  You can convert almost all possible file formats perhaps you should check it too

• Toshiba Camileo Pro HD - bad image quality camcorder

  I recently bought a toshiba camileo pro hd camcorder due to its size and 720 hd quality.

  I connected through my wlt toshiba tv via the component cable, but the picture quality is bad. It seems very grainy. I thought it was the connection, but these have been checked and were perfect.

  IM pretty impressed if this is how it will run even if it was valuable.

  I'm doing something wrong?

  Cheers for all the advice

  Hello

  If you image quality is bad check details in the menu setting by choosing the right standard of TV (try PAL and NTSC as an alternative).

  And if the LCD screen image is unclear when shooting, try to turn the ring to 'Focus' on the circumference of the lens on the proper position: (general/Figure/Macro)

  Good bye

• Camileo H20 will not come to the top with the power of the battery

  My Camileo H20 won't be to point to the power of the battery. It runs on AC power when connected to the charger. I noticed when I press battery/memory sometimes, it happens on battery showing - TOSHIBA - but goes out as soon as I stop fastening lid close the card cover. Bad contacts with battery maybe?

  Any ideas?

  Hello romancos,

  have you noticed, there is an insulator on the battery?
  It protects the battery while shipping to the France.
  If you don t have, please delete.

  If the issue continues, please try another battery.

• Camileo H20-low voice level

  Hello boys,.
  A few days ago, I bought Camileo H20, it's very pretty, but while viewieng of videos, the volume of voice is not acceptable to me.
  If I want to hear the voice I have my tv on max volume. Is this a bug in the firmware or my cam is broken?
  Is any firmware solved this problem?

  and anoither question, I am using standard crc 29 inch tv now, if I change to fullHD 1920 x 1080, the picture quality will be better?
  If it makes sense to change tv?

  Is the best,
  wader

  HI, has what kind of sound, stereo/mono/dolby, I couldn't find?
  It has one or more microphones on it?

  This camcorder has just a maxim resolution 1440 x 1080 p not full hd, but for a 4/3 aspect that's the best I could say; any standard TV is prohibited :D
  Changing the tv has all senses :)
