My GL2 camera constantly wants me to eject tape!!  I am unable to use my camera because it forces me to eject  the tape. I've switch tapes and use new tapes and still the same  results. Only time it works is if i turn the camera off for a long periods of time. But to use it continously, the camera begins to force me to eject tape.

The problem that you are experiencing with your Canon GL2 camcorder is a common complaint on this model camcorder. The eject the tape error is the camcorders way of saying something is wrong and it needs to be sent in for repair. It is not a defect with the camcorder, it is simply the most common complaint when the mechanical assembly is not running smoothly and perfectly. There are parts of the mechanical assembly that over a period of time wear and also possible defective parts that can cause this problem. The average repair cost for this repair is usually between $250 and $450 parts and labor. This also includes cleaning and servicing.

The immediate remedy may be cleaning the video heads. The head is not receiving the data from the inserted tape because it may be clogged. Use head cleaning tape for about 10 seconds but NO MORE. Try again, if not you may need to clean and adjust by trained technicians. Good luck -James. For further assistance, go to www.camerarepairjapan.com
