JVC GR-DVL305 Mini DV Digital Camcorder - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Have you looked in the manual ?

Take camera and its battery to a camera outlet, ask them to check the built-in rechargeable battery. Most outlets will help you with this, as its likely that if the battery has failed, you'll buy a replacement from the same dealer.

not sure on this one but it might be the heads in your vid cam may need cleaning. or the tapes are not running straight on the heads or the rollers in side. if the vid cam has been in a cold place it can cause this fault as the heads may have a bit of damp. try putting a tape in and run it fast forword in play mode and see if starts to clear the playhead.if it does keep doing it until you see a clear picture. this could also be a head misalignment fault if it is you will have to take it to some one to have a look at. if any of the above does not work then you will have to take to some one to look at it. .

Sounds as if the battery needs replacing - have you tried with a spare battery ?

The heads need cleaning. DO NOT USE A HEAD CLEANING TAPE. Thats like holding sand paper to the drum. Use alcohol and a swab.

Do you have the sd card that holds the pictures? Put in computer. Computer will give you option how to open and save photos. You do not have to use makers software disc, any photo reader can store your pictures on computer.

that means the head is sticky or the takeup rollers are icky take it apart . clean all the parts the tape touches with something thats strong but little water . as for the head very carefull clean it when you get to the actual holes where heads are only use a proper qtip wetted . look it up or youll break them. on the rubber rollers scrub them . then load the tape an watch it run. its easy to fix this but you need a nice clean place an some small phillips , take pics of parts/screws if needed

I am unsure what model you have? Most camcorder cannot connect directly to an iPad.

Drivers are not neccessary when transferring VIDEO on "GR-D" camcorders. All you need is a firewire cable (4pin to 4pin) or (4pin to 6pin) depending on your computer. Once connected, you can use free DV EDITING SOFTWARE like, Windows Movie Maker or iMovie. USB ports on these cameras are reserved for transferring PICTURES ONLY

eject tape an tighten an reinsert it
