The model number of the panasonic camcorder is ag-hmc150. When recording there is a flicker sometimes on the LCD screen which actually gets recorded on the SD card. Can you suggest any fixes or reasons to this problem. Thanks

I have the same problem on the same camera.. did you manage to get it out?

Hi,

On these old models of VHS camcorder, I recall they have either RCA outputs, or BNC connectors which will require a BNC adaptor (to convert to RCA).

Using a 3RCA lead, connect the camcorder to the video (and audio) inputs of your DVD recorder.

send it in for repair. You may have pointed the lens at the sun while carrying the camera around and burned out the lcd.

Hi,

Please get your microphone tested, also, you can try testing the recording using external microphone.
It seems that the problem is with microphone contacts or internal loose connections.

Seem to be a minor one, hope it will be resolved with above methods.

Thanks.

try Enhanced View Services 305-971-2916

check beneath the fold-out LCD screen.

what is the model number? if it's 10 years or older you are most likely dealing with bad surface mounted capacitors.

Most likely the flex cable connection to the video head is dirty. A good repair shop will be able to handle this.
