Shot down display - Canon XL1S Mini DV Digital Camcorder

Most cameras have a number displayed that tells you how many shots you have left.
If you make a note of how many that size of memory card gives you, you can subtract the number displayed,and this will tell you how many you have taken. I believe in lots of memory cards, of the biggest size that the camera will recognize - like a 2gb card in my Nikon P7100 shows 334 which is enough for any one day's shooting ( and I know that there are maybe 6 shots on the card).
you can also press the view picures button (like a right arrow) and come down till you get a set pf thumbnails (press the zoom lever to wide angle) and count the shots.

Just try to install a new OS.

Your graphics driver may be corrupted or not properly installed. You need to install that to get proper graphics and also to prevent restarts.

sounds like the screen is broken Sorry 8^(

put the camera on auto mode,leave it,two when taking a picture press down one time gently to get in focus,press down all the way to take your shot.you should be fine.

Your quality setting is probably set to the E-Mail quality. This makes the video low quality and tiny.

Just press the button that you use to delete pictures with the regular screen on and change the image quality.

It is useful for the pro to know the settings automatically at every exposure.But if you dont like you can avoid it by going through the menu.You select "No" to display info or preview
