I want software for copy the files from Camcoder to PC. i hv lost the cd

The most likely cause for this is a damaged or defective flexible ribbon cable that connects the LCD to the camera body and can be repaired fairly inexpensively. However, it's not a user serviceable problem and will need to be repaired by a qualified service technician.

This is usually caused by an oxidized or defective Audio/Video drum. Try running a cleaning tape through the camera. If this does not solve the problem the camera will need to be repaired qualified service technician.

Hmmm it sounds to me like your focus.distance & ranging electronics have somehow gone faulty... that or the Focus Drive, has faulted or both, it is real hard to tell without actually examining the unit.
In any event, it is NOT a setting nor software, it is indeed a fault within the unit, i have seen similar ones before.
You will have to take this camera in for repair, as special tools and software are required to service and repair this unit.
You need to contact a local or head office of JVC, and ask them for a referral to an local to you, Authorised servicing center. Now when you take your unit in for repair. Ask them first for a "Quote" for the repair. That way you can decide as to repair or replace, as this may be an underling symptom of a much greater problem,although i think, that it will be a simple repair,one can never tell until it is on the operating table so to speak. However in this instance i cannot see the repair being all that expensive, as it;s a fairly simple job to replace the faulty bits.

you are trying to transfer using the battery, will stop during the process, you need to use the JVC docking station powered up from the mains or you will require power from your charger system, a slight drop in battery power and your download will freeze.

You can get the driver from here

good luck

First thing i would do would be to email the firm you bought it from and explain the problem and that you are returning the disk and explain that you would either like a replacement disk or your money back.

I have the same issue. Did you ever get this problem resolved? How?

there was another post about this on here that said they used one of these http://cgi.ebay.com/Easycap-USB-2-0-Video-TV-DVD-VHS-Audio-Capture-Adapter_W0QQitemZ170435042087QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item27aeb85b27 i think. not sure if they actually used it as a webcam or not. on ebay you can search for usb video adapter, there are more than this one. here is the manual to your camera if you need it. its a 20mb pdf so i takes a while to load. http://resources.jvc.com/Resources/00/00/91/LYT1668-001C.pdf

Hi,
As you don't have cords (Usb Cable) that connect to camera and PC.It is better to transfer your data (Movie) to your PC for safe backup, For that you can use SD Card reader to store movie onto your PC, you just need to insert your SD Card into your SD Card Reader and then connect to your PC directly.
Visit this link to buy SD Card Reader.

Good Luck and have a nice day.

Have you tried the cord from your camera to your computer's usb port? It should be recognized by the computer, allowing you to transfer your videos to a folder. The camera has a built in memory, so you have to use a cord to transfer the movies and pics.

Well the blurry is caused by poor focus. Try not to zoom too much. Better to get closer to the subject if possible. Study your manual and adjust your diopter which loosely means adjust the viewfinder in and out whilst looking at a subject without using any zoom until the picture is clear. Then take you'll find it easier to focus when you do actually zoom. Sometimes there's a small sliding piece of plastic sticking out of the side of the lens. Otherwise it's a matter of turning the eyepiece to get the clarity. That's why I said check the manual. That will explain which method to use.

The yellowish colour is unusual. I would say check you have the White balance switch set to auto but lack of white balance is not usually a yellow picture. But check the white balance switch anyway and make sure it's in auto mode.

Ordinary light bulbs or some street lighting can give a yellow caste so check you have the inside outside button switched to the correct position, depending on where you are at the time of shooting.

Did you buy the camera used or new. Often people who have faulty cameras will sell them off cheap and run. Leaving the owner with the problems.

So to sum up. get closer to your subject rather than use zoom if you can. If you use a lot of zoom either use a tripod or place the camera on a firm surface or even hold the camera whilst you stop yourself from moving by leaning against a wall or tree etc.

Next remeber where you are and switch the indoor/outdoor switch accordingly
