I'm not sure this will work. In my case, after taking a shot the image stays on for a few seconds, meaning that I can't shoot quickly on the next shot. At first, I assumed I had a slow SDHC, so I bought the fastest card I could find. After inserting it, no difference in the camera performance. By accident, however, after taking one shot I tapped the shoot button lightly, and voila, I was good to go with the next shot. Give it a shot. When you get the dark screen, try tapping the shoot button.

Same thing is happening to me. Was taking pictures one minute, next minute, went to black screen. No abuse to camera. This stinks. Will try reinstalling software. Take care.Janice

I was messing with settings and had the same thing happened to me with it stopping and not recording constantly. I just reset it to default and after restart I picked English again. The default settings work best for me. I have used class 4 and class 10 microSDHC successfully with camera. If your computer doesn't read the videos on the memory card just plug camera into tv and or monitor with hdmi to verify that it is being recorded. I view and import videos with adapter card inserted into front of computer and realplayer program.

I had a similar problem. The sony analyst walked me through power resetting and pulling batter + memory card. None of the checks corrected the problem. I used the 'tap it on a hard surface' technique and it is back up and working. The pulling the camera lens did not work so the tapping technique will be used until we tap it into its grave.

Try a different SD card or change the selections in the Shooting mode. I use Natural mode which shoots one picture with flash and one without.

I have the same problem and it can be resolved by connecting the camcorder to the computer using usb. It will enable more features including video (AVCHD). It works both on XP and Windows 7 x64.

You MUST have an SD memory card installed, not bigger than 32 Geg. Press "Menu", then either "Vol" button until you see "Video Player", press and hold Both Vol up and Vol Down, 3 seconds. Should get a second menu, scroll to "DV" press "OK". you will see what the camera is looking at for 10 sec., then it goes into record (blue dot in upper right corner). Hope that helps. Jack

Try resetting camera by using a needle. Insert needle in little between usb port and memory card. Worked for me.

I used my video recording app. It's not an app specific device so anything that takes video will work with it.

Same thing happens to me!!?!?!? I'm trying to return the newest SD card I purchased. The camera works fine with one of my older SD cards.

Check out the menu list and you should see how to take a photo or even a video. Also get yourself a micro memory card and install that for expanded memory. I've taken lots of photos and used them in power points, also I've used the videos to make short programs~

I just install the software included in the CD. After that I just pluged the camera and thats it. I use windows 7. I don't know why but the first time i had a problem with the driver of the camera or the installation of the software. I tried again and worked.
