Had this intermittent problem for the last two years. Camcorder only had a maximum of 3 hrs recording in this time. On powering up the camera whether viewed by LCD screen or lens view finder the camera:

Same problem.........Anyone know of any repair houses around Perth, WA?
i have a similar problem with the same model, my camera keeps telling me i have the lens cap on and if you look through view finder or at the screen it is dark as if the cap was on.
I took my GRD 20 EK camcorder on holiday and used it ok.4 hours later it was displaying the lens cap message and displaying a very distorted grey image but recording only the sound. The device has only ever been used for a couple of hours or so.Play back is fine.
