    Hi and thanks. I figured it was circuit board or chip but no way to diagnose. Can any camera shop do this or is it too specialized? Any idea of cost? I really appreciate the help. bill

Hi,
Symptom indicates problem of ccd imager chip failure in camcorder that is why no live image in camera mode for fresh recording.
Please replace ccd imager chip in camcorder to solve this problem, local camera repair shop will do this job because camcorder will take apart and soldering work is required for ccd imager chip replacement.
Hope these info will help you.
Thanks.

You should go into the menu, camera settings and set the evf to on. EVF stands for electronic view finder. This can be set to be on when the lcd is open or closed. CAreful, if the evf is set to on and you point the viewfinder towards the sun, it will burn white marks into the viewfinder and ruin it.

Thick dark vertical lines appear on the video taken during playback.
It is problem of dirty / clogged video heads, use good quality video head cleaner in your camera and clean video head. Problem will be resolved.

Distorted Viewfinder Only In PIcture Mode
Yes, You are correct, it does not seem to be problem with the CCD. Insted it seems to be with shutter control or apparture control mechanism of the camera. Normaly there is one single cable carring signal to the shutter blade mechanism and the diaphram control. If this cable is damaged it shows the same symptoms as you have described in your mail. Get in touch with an expert camera repairer.
