Question about Canon MV600i Mini DV Digital Camcorder
When i switch my camera on, i can see all the settings displayed but it is on a black backround, i.e. no image appears on the lcd screen or through the viewfinder, yes i have removed the lens cap. i therefore cannot record any images but i can record the sound. i can replay and view previously recorded stuff on the screen, through the viewfinder and onto the television. can anyone help me with this problem, thanks. i hadn't used the camera for some time and the problem began as intermitant, it would be black for a while then it would flicker into life and i could record, but now the problem is permanent. jim
Could be one from a batch with faulty CCDs - check out this fixya link (solution 2) - http://www.fixya.com/support/t115316-canon_mv30 - it's copied from a page at imaging-resource.com - my MV600i was out of warranty and I sent it back to Canon at the end of 2007 and they got it going again free of charge within the week - unfortunately within weeks a very similar fault appeared and now they're trying to charge me for the repair !!! even though they say repairs are under warranty for six months -

just want to add:
within minutes of posting the above "solution", I phoned the Canon Service Centre here in the UK (0870 514 3723) to find out how much the repair was going to be and have now been offered an exchange at no charge - hopefully I'll finally have a working camcorder again in the next week or two - joy!
