Message -Lens Cap text appearing

Hi,
Lens Cap message appears due to failure of ccd imager chip in camcorder and ccd imager chip need to be replaced to solve this issue.
Local camera repair shop will replace ccd imager chip because camera will take apart and soldering work is required.
Hope this will help.
Thanks.

It is lens cap sensor error

You have a defective CCD imager - the part of the lens that receives the image. Will need to be replaced.

It shows all menus, numbers and graphics on LCD, but seems like there's no picture coming through the lens. In both modes, video and still. It seems like it can not see anything as if the lens cap was on all the time.

Could this be a problem with sensor.. CCDs? Lens? Something else?

See my post of before. I just knocked the camera on the floor by mistake and it miraculously started working again after years. Shows it must be mechanical and not related to software.

Hi, this sounds like CCD chip fault.
