A: Try turning it on and off again. Has the camera been left on/recording for a while? Is it charged? If not, check out "You got the Power: Charging the Battery". Also, try to charge from a computer's USB socket.

Q: I can't play back footage on my computer.

A: Try using a different program, such as KMPLAYER Media Player. It works with a huge range of operating systems. You may need to drag and drop the file onto the KMPLAYER window if the default file association isn't right.
