There may be a microswitch that detects the cap that's stuck. Take it to your dealer first, then try calling JVC for support.

I own a jvc-d93 digital video camera and when recording the screen is black and the words lens cap appear even though the lens cap is off,can you help.
Please check whether the Camcorder is fully charged. Then, try resetting the Camcorder to the factory settings. Try Power resetting the Camcorder.
To Power reset the Camcorder, remove the battery of the Camcorder press the ON button(if switch, then keep the switch in ON position) for 30 seconds and reinsert the battery in 1 minute. Then, check the operation of the Camcorder.
If the issue still persists, then service will be required. It seems to be an issue with the CCD of the Camcorder.

DCR-HC26 Touch screen calibration WORKS but does not work on set time screen. I've opened it up and reconnected all the cables and seen if any connection is loose, but the interesting thing is that it does work in calibration. Touching the "x" changes positions, but it never "finishes" calibration, I am not sure if it is supposed to end but changing to mode to get back to play/edit and trying the touch screen right after does not work, it is stuck on setting the time and date. Just wanted to use it to transfer some old miniDV tapes, but it might not be work repairing since it seems it might not even be the lcd/touch panel? The reset button also does not help.

When I turn on my camera, I hear the tape moving and everything starting up normally, but the EVF (Electric ViewFinder) Does not show anything. It used to show up, but now it does not. I tried unplugging the EVF cord, but nothing happened. Can you please help me?

Panasonic NV-RX1, Only black and white? Looking through the viewfinder, it is all black and white, having never used this camcorder before I was wondering if this only recorded in black and white or would playback be in colour? I am just confused and looking for answers if possible. Because I've seen online footage from the Rx-1 and it is in colour. I just would like to know if something is wrong with the camera or if I’m being silly. Thank you!
