Top 20 Kodak Zi8 Hard Drive Camcorder Questions & Answers

this is a solution

try reformatting the SD Card

by the way if you store anything on the card via the USB port it will freeze your camera, it only recognizes video and picture filenames created by the camera, so I guess it may have a corrupte filename or something, reformatting the card can be a solution for you

If it can be of any help I did manage to find information on how can I eliminate noise during video recording on the Zi8:
Turn off Continuous AF (auto focus) to prevent recording camera noise during video capture. When you turn off Continuous AF, you may notice a narrower area of focus or depth of field, especially if you zoomed to a telephoto position before recording.

1. Turn the Mode dial to Video, then press the Menu button.
2. Highlight the Continuous AF menu, then press the OK button.
3. Highlight Off or Single AF (certain models), then press the OK button. (On is the default.)
4. Press the Menu button to turn off the menu screen.

This setting remains until you change it, change the Mode dial, or turn off the camera.

Good luck I hope one or both solutions will help the problem

You'll find user guides on the Kodak website.user guide:extended user guide:

Since you declined to specify the model of your Kodak video camera, enter it into the search box here to find the manual.

The media you are using to record onto must be out of service.

Try to plug it off and plug it in.

You can try to format it, if it's possible, this could fix the problem.

On the other hand is better and safer to buy a new one. I recommend this option.

If you think this is not a media problem, refer to a camcorder service specialist, it may be a hardware problem as well.

There is no software online, it was a 'one hit wonder' and it says the disc that came with it only contained drivers and Ulead Video Studio 7, Ulead Photo Express 5. Fairly typical on such devices. Everything for $100 including the disc. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/275425639098 https://www.manualslib.com/manual/315830/Svp-Hddv-2100.html Driver Guide says it has them. Or you can connect the the camera to the computer, turn it on, then go to Device Manage in Settings and you will see a device with a banged out triangle icon,. Right click and click Find Driver. Microsoft should have one that works. https://www.google.com/search?q=svp+hddv+2600+video+camera+drivers+download ..

Not a very informative query. What camcorder ? What tape ? Is it the correct tape for the camcorder ?

If you have a Canon ZR85, it takes video cassettes labeled 'miniDV'. See the specifications here: https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART157040 . I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

It doesn't exist https://www.google.com/search?q=conomatic+7000+digital+video+camcorder Maybe you will be able to get one of these questions correct! 'make model (what it is as first 3 words' plus "manual please". As stated 4 hours ago.... It appears so go by two names https://www.google.com/search?q=JVC+mx+7000+digital+video+camera+manual ..

Question edited for clarity. It appears so go by two names https://www.google.com/search?q=JVC+mx+7000+digital+video+camera+manual ..

You will need computer video drivers for your mystery video camera. Audio is easy because computers recognize sound.

You can't directly connect the JVC GR-AXM205 camcorder to a computer. You can connect it to a USB (or internal) AV video capture card. See the manual here: https://www.manualslib.com/products/Jvc-Gr-Axm405-246960.html . The video and audio output ports are shown as 22 and 23 here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/80789/Jvc-Gr-Axm205.html?page=52#manual . I hope this helps. Cindy Wells
