Camcorder viewfinder fuzzy image




By Jacqual on Oct 29, 2007

This Samsung 8mm video camera was great, and no problem at all that is until after leaving it quite a while I tried it out and found that the image through the viewfinder was a multi-coloured waterfall! However the camera seems to work fine otherwise, and plays back old tapes through the TV perfectly. The dilemma I guess is that it is pretty much obsolete, and probably not worth getting fixed. Seems a shame as it has had very little wear, and is otherwise like new. So, any advice would be much appreciated.

-   I have exact same problem with my canon, it was fine until I left it unused for about 6 months and now all I can see through the viewfinder or record is a multicoloured distorted waterfall of colours, I will look into the ccd imager problem that you advised and see where I get.
