Archos AV300 Series S

Problem: I cannot get the camera or camcorder to zoom in more than 3X.

Solution: The camera can zoom up to 9.6X only if the Image size parameter under Settings is set

to 2048x1536. The camcorder zooms only up to 3X.

Problem: The AV300 unit freezes operation and none of the buttons do anything.

Solution: This is a rare case and the simplest thing to do is to hold down on the STOP/OFF "

button for 12 seconds. This will shut off the AV300. Turn it back on again and retry the

operation.

Problem: The autofocus takes too long or its focus is incorrect.

Solution: The autofocus system needs to have contrast in the picture in order to focus correctly.

Thus, it will have difficulties focusing on flat areas without contrast or sharp edges. Move the

camera to have some other objects on the screen so that it can figure out how to make the focus.
