I have the white sony ericsson walkman phone, so i assume they are all simil;ar in teh way they take photos and videos. What you do is on the main menu you go into the 'camera' button. It is a picture of the camera an don mine it is next to the envelope symbol which represents messages. Wehn you are in the camera function you push one of the left or right. arrows and it should switch to video camera. My phone you trn it sideways to take the photo and near teh arrows there is two little pictures together, one of a camera and one of a video camera. You have to click the button which shows video camera. It will be an arrow button. Hope my crazy instructions were of some help to you. I suck lol.
