JVC Camcorder- Recording Problems

It could one of a few problems:

1. The viewfinder is pulled out and "PRIORITY" is set to "FINDER".

Push the viewfinder back in or set "PRIORITY" to "LCD".

2. The LCD monitor's brightness setting is too dark.

Adjust the brightness of the LCD monitor.

3. If the monitor is tilted upward 180 degrees, open the monitor fully.

Look in the view finder when recording instead of the screen. if you see the image there then the unit is probably set to look through there. Many of the new units dont' have a full view finder to lens item they actually have a small lcd screen inside the view finder. Check your options for recording.

Also if the view finder is tilted you need to close that before usign the lcd.

The image will not appear simultaneously on the LCD

monitor and the viewfinder. It will appear in the

viewfinder when the LCD monitor is in the lock position,

and it will appear on the LCD monitor when fully
extended.

CCD (imaging chip) went bad and require replacement. Not a very expensive repair, but has to be done by professional.

This is a Iris Problem .....THe Best in house solution is to Bang the camera Lightly with your palm .... other wise send it to a repairman .... coz you wont be able to open the camera to such an extent

The ccd block is starting to fail. Thats the chip thats the eye of the camcorder at the back of the lense assy. Its mounted on a small circuit board. You can find the chip at parts.com. Its just a matter of dissassembling the camcorder and removing the chip from the board and soldering another onto it taking care not to over heat the chip. You do need good soldering skills.

Hi, the problem U have is the imager. reason: it is the way Sony made the imager... the gold lead wires would pop off the chip without warning. So go to JVC's site. they will fix it for free.

if you live in very cold region, the mist or moisture give you this problem, using a hair dryer will solve this problem.

It's ... a. A broken connection. b. A failed chip or component. It is not something an owner usually can repair.
