GR-D71, no longer records images

Sounds as though the imager may have failed but make sure you are in video postion instead of memory mode. Little switch behind the lcd screen. Larry's Electronics

Does the camera record images, or only sound?

OK, it is known problem of CCD Imager chip failure in JVC GR-D33 camcorder and ccd imager will be replaced to get live view for recording, lens cap message will disappear as well.

OK, that means you can see clear picture in playback of old recorded tapes and camcorder just wont give you live view to record any more.

sounds like some REALLY outdated compression... have you checked to make sure it's recording in the highest quality possible? Usually you can change settings like these in the camera's menu. If so then I'm a little stumped and wouldn't think any camera would continue functioning at all if it's encoding hardware were failing....

if u can see the old videos in playback mode those videos when ur camera was ok then it is

Firstly check if a/v mode is on ..in or..out.If it is on out then your ccd image sensor is faulty.

the ccd image sensor of your camera is the problem...i know it is free for replacing that sensor..that trouble is also in sony,canon,samsung and the other cameras brand cause the manufacturer of their sensor is only one company that why they recall it from the batch of 2002 to 2004..log on to the jvc costumer care to see all the detail...
