I think I have this same issue, it appears the dial to change capture mode has an issue where it's not locking into the current setting and keeps flipping back and forth

I have exactly the same issue and can not find solution. Also the left button in the round control acts unexpectedly.
dayanswan -
Same problem here. Has anybody fixed it yet?
Lisa -
I had same issue, the mode changes by itself and I managed to find the solution to get rid of it. What I did was while the camera is off, I turned the top dial continuous for around 30x clockwise and reverse. Then after I powered it back on the problem was gone. Hope this helps your issue. Goodluck!!

My WB250F turns white while is on. Have to switch off and turn back on again.

Has anyone found information about this? Mine won't stay on whatever I'm taking a picture of either.

I just tried a reset on my camera and it seems to have fixed my problem. This info for a wb350f was the same as the 250.

The top dial is too sensitive. If you kept on turning it carelessly then it will destroy the ribbon inside, that's why it kept on changing the options while taking picture. My advice is, just avoid touching the dial while taking a picture.

I have missed so many good pictures with this camera, I am ready to throw it in the trashcan. I go to take a pic, and it keeps going through the different settings on the screen and you can’t take a picture. Is there a cure? There must be a setting somewhere that is wrong or needs adjusting. I’m about to give up on it. Thanks. It is a Samsung WB250F camera.

I have 3 of these cameras, unfortunately they are all “flipping” the settings, I initially thought I had damaged the cameras, hence ending up with 3 !
It seems it is a design fault………..
I haven’t managed to find a fix for it .
