Canon VIXIA HF S200 High Definition Flash Media AVC Camcorder Questions & Answers
Horizontal lines during playback on canon vixia hfs200
Are these lines showing up on the LCD & or on the resulting videos? I've noticed with mine that if I film in dark conditions, the HD quality is lower with lines or artifacts in the video. Otherwise, you may need a new LCD, but if it's not affecting the resulting videos, and you can see to film using the LCD, you can still use it as is.

If your Sony camcorder displays a tape transport or mechanical error code always
try resetting the camcorder. This is done by removing the battery or ac power,
wait 10 seconds, reapply the battery or ac power and try again. If it still goes
into error try another tape. The camcorder will not always display an exact
error code. Sometimes you may see an error message such as, "Reinsert the
cassette", on the LCD screen. This is the camcorders way of saying, "Take the
tape out and try again." Try reloading the same tape as well as a new tape. If
the camcorder is still going into error this means it is time to send it in for
service or repair.
The camcorder may also sometimes display a "Reattach Power Source." This is
the camcorders way of saying,"Try resetting my system,so I can try again." Many
people mistaken this error and think they have a problem with the battery or ac
adapter. This is not true and has nothing to do with your battery or ac adapter.
Reset the camcorder by removing the battery or ac power, wait 10 second, reapply
the battery or ac power. If the error reappears the unit needs to be serviced or
repaired.
How to remove a tape out of a canon es55 that will not power up even if the battery is charged
If you suspect that your JVC camcorder may have been damaged by plugging in the wrong power cord, it's possible that the cassette mechanism may not release as intended. However, you can try the following steps to manually release the cassette:
- Turn off the camcorder: Make sure the camcorder is turned off and unplugged from any power source.
- Locate the cassette release button: The cassette release button is usually located on the side or bottom of the camcorder near the cassette compartment. It may be labeled "eject" or have a symbol that looks like a triangle with an arrow pointing up.
- Press the cassette release button: Press and hold the cassette release button for several seconds to see if it releases the cassette. You may need to press it firmly or use a pointed object like a pen or pencil to press it.
- Manually release the cassette: If the cassette release button does not work, you can try manually releasing the cassette. Look for a small hole on the camcorder near the cassette compartment. This hole may be labeled "emergency release" or have a symbol that looks like a triangle with an arrow pointing down. Insert a straightened paperclip or similar object into the hole and press gently to release the cassette.
If you are unable to manually release the cassette, it's possible that the camcorder has been damaged beyond repair.
