Hmm. the only other thing I can think of is that you may have it on the Handheld setting for taking pics like a regular camera. Are you leaving the camera on "Auto"? other than that you got me stumped. We have 3 moultres, but haven't had that problem. May be try taking out the battery's and resetting the events and defaults and start all over. If that doesn't work, I'd bring it back and exchange it.
Good luck!!
