Had a problem today when diving with the Intova Sport HD. The camera was working fine for a while, but then "froze" in the record mode and had a spinning wheel image in the center of the view finder. I could not turn the camera off, and could not stop the recording mode. I tried the following while underwater: Press and hold the on/off button (no change), Change the mode (no change), pressed and held other buttons with no change. I tried the same maneuvers at the surface, again with no change.
Finally the camera turned itself off when the battery ran down. When I was able to recharge the battery and turn the camera back on, it seems to be operating normally.
So the questions are, what happened and why, will it happen again, if it does happen again what can be done other than letting the battery run down?
BTW I couldn't find anything about this on google. Also, I've been very happy with the Intova for dive videos since I got it and this is the first problem I've had.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
