looks completely white. I would like to know if there is anything I could

Hi all. Recently got same problem as others with remove lens cap when in camera mode or black screen. It is a known problem with the ccd. JVC have admitted this (at least over here in the England they have). They are doing free repairs until October 2007 even though I'm out of guarantee/warranty.

Here's the URL for UK, hope you get lucky.

A dumb answer but believe me I've had 2 customers tell me the same story and all it was "they didn't remove the lens cap"

Another common problem is a stuck iris The early Panasonics were good at this. I've repaired a few but that first one was a killer. I wondered if it was ever going to fit back together so I'd advise a trip to your friendly repair shop and save yourself a heart attack, well at least until they give you the repair bill :-)

hi

if the screens are showing all the features (time, battray...)
then the LCD and viewfinder are fine
it's possible that the problem is the CCD
this is a common problem
but its a pretty expensive fix
it may be cheaper and better to buy a new 1

good luck

I went to Canon's site when I read solution #2 (regarding the CCD Image Sensor) from Windman to see if there were any recalls on this issue. I found that that was!!

Please use this link:

http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/contro...

for a Service Notice: CCD Image Sensor Advisory.

If this is your issue Canon will fix it for free.
