Canon ZR40 would not turn on

Press the DIGITAL EFFECTS and select D.EFFECT from the Digital Effects menu. If needed, you can find a copy of the User Manual on the Canon website:
Canon Support Drivers ZR40

The CCd Image sdensor has gone bad. This part is no longer available from Canon.

yes for still photos

The best solution is to send the product back to the manufacturer for repair or replacement. If you have a receipt for the product and its within the warranty period (1 year) they will do this free of charge. I can help you with the process.

Hello friend,
The Canon ZR40 Mini DV Camcorder has the port "Firewire" so you can copy your tapes to a computer. you will need to check your computer if it has also a firewire socket (All the new laptops have it).
You don't need any drive software, Windows has all the necessary drivers built in. You can use Windows Movie Maker for the capture, but if you want to burn your finished movies onto DVD then look at something like Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0 which is one stop shop application (Capture,edit and burn). you can download a 30 days trial and try it out and see if it's what you want before buying it.
Best Regards,

You can get the manual here. just scroll down till you see manuals.

If the volume won't turn up there could be many problems her are the criteria for different answers:
• the volume 'wave' goes up like it should, but no sound comes out, no matter how loud you put it- the speaker has most likely been disconnected from the circuit board.
• you push the volume up/down button, but nothing happens, at all, not even the sound 'wave' The volume up/down button/switch has been disconnected

Last alternative guess that works for both:
the software doesn't recognize the pushing of the button.
how to fix, best buy, circuit city, they'll help you reconnect the wires, and maybe the software too.
if it is the speaker, try putting in a pair of headphones, if it has a headphone jack that is

Remove the battery.   Wait 10 seconds.  Put it back in and see if that resets it.
