Question about Panasonic PV-GS35 Mini DV Digital Camcorder

1 Answer

No image in viewfinder

The above description is accurate. All the modes of the camera work except for the fact the screen lacks an image other than the icons being visible on the screen. Other than that it's black like the lens cap was left on.

    PV-GS35. No image on LCD and viewfinder in camcorder or photo modes. Plays back previously recorded tapes fine but tapes recorded after this problem occurred would play back with audio but no images. This is true whether play back on the camcorder or on a TV. Audio seems to work and record fine.



    Tried the reset button as described in the owners manual and did not fix it.

CCD sensor faulty and has to be replaced ( you can playback fine but no image in capture mode ). Manufacturer's agent should repair this fault free of charge as you clerly bought a faulty product.

No image is captured by the screen itself (LCD screen works but completely dark).
Did you try pressing the display button several times? in both viewing mode and record mode? Cycle through all display modes, s you get used to the button, so it does not trow you off when it happens again.

When in video recording mode LCD screen and viewfinder are black when the lens cap is off.
It could one of a few problems:

1. The viewfinder is pulled out and "PRIORITY" is set to "FINDER".

Push the viewfinder back in or set "PRIORITY" to "LCD".

2. The LCD monitor's brightness setting is too dark.

Adjust the brightness of the LCD monitor.

3. If the monitor is tilted upward 180 degrees, open the monitor fully.

Hi,

Apparently the vendor-supplied CCD image sensor used in this Canon digital camera may cause the following malfunction: When the product is used in recording or playback mode, the LCD screen and/or electronic viewfinder may exhibit either a distorted image or no image at all.

To determine if the CCD (image sensor) is working properly, follow these steps:

1. Insert a memory card with known good images on it into the camera.

2. Power the camera on to the Playback mode.

3. Press the DISPLAY (DISP) button to enable the LCD panel, and observe
the LCD.

a. If the images are displayed properly, please proceed to step
four.

b. If the images are not displayed, or a "NO IMAGES" message
appears, please ensure that the memory card contains known good images.

c. If the card contains known good images, and the issue persists
with a second memory card, the camera will require service.

4. Switch the camera to the Camera mode. You may use any shooting mode
(i.e. Auto, Manual).

5. Press the DISPLAY (DISP) button to enable the LCD panel.

6. Point the camera at a well-lit scene and observe the LCD and/or
viewfinder. If the scene the camera is pointed at appears on the LCD
and/or viewfinder, the CCD is operating properly. If the LCD and/or
viewfinder remain black, the camera requires service.

Effective immediately, and regardless of warranty status, Canon will
repair, free of charge, products exhibiting the above-mentioned
malfunction if the malfunction is caused by the CCD image sensor. Canon will also cover the cost of shipping and handling in connection with this repair.



Regards.

Can't see whole image thru viewfinder when len is on
Your camera either has no focusing screen or the screen is dislodged. Remove lens and look above the mirror : looks like frosty glass.

Distorted Viewfinder Only In PIcture Mode
Yes, You are correct, it does not seem to be problem with the CCD. Insted it seems to be with shutter control or apparture control mechanism of the camera. Normaly there is one single cable carring signal to the shutter blade mechanism and the diaphram control. If this cable is damaged it shows the same symptoms as you have described in your mail. Get in touch with an expert camera repairer.

LCD Monitor on ,and the Electronic Viewfinder turned off
If you turn on the back LCD, the electronic viewfinder will remain on while in a shooting mode. There is no setting on the camera to use only the back LCD monitor while shooting. If you playback images in the Play mode, only the LCD monitor will turn on. However, if you press the Monitor button while in the Play mode, than the back LCD monitor will turn off. The image will display only in the viewfinder LCD.

Panasonic PV-GS35 DV recording mode not function after replace.. Dear Sir, My original problem, The PV-GS35 LCD screen flickers and goes blank when extended away from the camcorder. Then I follow someone's instruction to replace "LSXY0763" shaft case unit" from Panasonic parts (http://sklep.north.pl/thumb/thumb.php?f=/www/sklep.north.pl/rysunki/rysunki_czesci/89/8905044.jpg&s=350,350) and the LCD issue has been solved. BUT it bring me another problem, After I replace LSXY0763, the LCD working OK when it fully open., and all of sudden, I lost the "recording and "shooting photo" function. When I turn the knob to recording mode, the screen show "Blank" or I said "Black". The "Playback" mode is still good. I suspect something to do with the "len" ? Not sure ? Please help me.
