The camcorder is stuck in nightshot and no matter what is done it will not come out of nightshot mode. i have turned the switch on and off many times and also turned it on/off internally through the menu and still no change, it still flashes the icon and says "NightShot" on the LCD screen.
Hi,
Below image of CCD-TRV608 shows NightShot Button location, turn it Off for normal mode recording.
OK,
Above mentioned knob turns nightshot mechanism on-off in lens assembly.
You need to take off front cover to see that lever works or intact with marked knob.
Let me know the results to proceed.
right, nightshot mechanism consist of lever that slide down and up a special filter in front of CCD Imager and press electronic switch to turn on-off nightshot electronic circuit.
upon your response I think you should take off front cover (if you are conformable with it) to inspect filter movement and switch on-off

My research shows that model is only for sale only in Asia, I looked into some similar USA released models and they did NOT have multiple language support so I am thinking that the DCR-TRV9 is only in Japanese.
Just out of curiosity are the markings on the camera body in English or in Japanese?

This did not work. i also tried turning it off via the internal menu in addition to this and it still says nightshot.
yes, the knob DOES work. (when switching on and off the LCD flickers as though you are shooting in nightshot mode like you normally would) If i aim at a light spot nearby and turn the setting on/off then the light spot gets bigger and smaller like it should. the screen has the light green tint at all times if that helps any.
