Jvc digital video camera GR-D20 condensation error

it is might possible that the main or shutter ic has got some moisture...see a jvc service center in this case and do not operate it for few days..

if you still remember this is not due to moisture problem, the firmware may have got corrupted firmware which has happened due to virus insertion during data transfer with pc or mmc.. see jvc authorised service station for this.

ccd image sensor problem, not to worry though!!
