I use my Canon Vixia HF G50 in auto mode almost all the time. But today I wanted to adjust color balance. Switched the rocker switch at the top of the camera from Auto to Manual and now everything is black and white! Tried adjusting AWB, but still b/...

I'm shooting a 3-minute video in a studio with a Canon Vixa HF G50. It always generates TWO recordings. One recording is longer and the second recording takes over from where the first one leaves off. It's as if the first disc has run out of space so...

Is there any way to set the sensitivity of the camera so that it doesn't burn out the white highlights? I bought the camera because of rave reviews about its ability to preserve image and color info but I'm not impressed at all. The other day I...

The focus ring on my Vixia HF G50 is very stiff and has no effect on the image no matter how many turns I give it. I've got the button on the back of the camera set to Focus, and have reset all preferences to factory settings. I've clicke...

I'm trying to import photos to my computer. Photos are on Disk B, but movies are on Disk A. When I'm using Image Capture I can only see one active disk. How can I switch disks so Image Capture sees the other disk?

Hello & thanks for your reply. The disks or SD cards are SanDisk 32 Gb Exreme Plus 90 Mb/s items. The camera is onlyl a few months old but it has always worked with these disks in it. I bought four, so changed the disks and reformatted them, but stil...

Thanks for your reply-- do you know how easily that ring should turn? Mine has always been quite stiff-- far more stiff than the rings on my two DSLRs. Also, it seems to be working now, but it takes several turns to make much difference in the focuss...

Thanks for your reply. The camcorder is a Vixia HF G50. The still image of the man standing is taken from a raw clip shot in full automatic mode under a bright, overcast sky. There's nothing I can do to reveal surface gradations in the hard hat. Com...
