My camera has like some kind of static in the screen

My camera has like some kind of static that appears in the screen and the view finder, sometimes it goes away but every time I turn ON the camera its there. It even shows on my recordings. What can I do about it?

    I tried cleaning the heads with a head cleaner tape but the static remains, It has gotten worse; not because of the cleaning, there is a black strip at the bottom of the screen and the image gets jumpy.

    I tried cleaning the heads with a head cleaner tape. It doesn't work. The problem is worse; not because of the cleaning, the screens now have a thick black stripe at the bottom and the image is jumpy.

Have you tried cleaning the heads? It went away for me when I did this. buy cleaning tapes and follow directions.

What is a small dark area appears on viewfinder and photos?

is it only the view finder or does it appear on the photo as well because if it the view finder then it is the screen and if it is on the photo as well then its most likely the lense and once you have deterined this then you can know if it is just dirty or if the screen needs replacing

The problem i m having with my camcorder is when i want to record film screen goes blank but i can watch my previous recorded videos

Look in the view finder when recording instead of the screen. if you see the image there then the unit is probably set to look through there. Many of the new units dont' have a full view finder to lens item they actually have a small lcd screen inside the view finder. Check your options for recording.

Also if the view finder is tilted you need to close that before usign the lcd.

The image will not appear simultaneously on the LCD

monitor and the viewfinder. It will appear in the

viewfinder when the LCD monitor is in the lock position,

and it will appear on the LCD monitor when fully
extended.

My camera view finder shows"Check

Good day,

The CHECK DIAG appears in the view finder when the camera's automatic self diagnostic function detects an abnormality.

From here you must first perform error checking on your camera by doing the following:

Press the menu dial.
This will perform the error check on the Digital Signal Processing(DSP) and the Memory Circuits.
When no error is detected OK will appear.
If an error is detected it will be displayed next to DSP or Memory on the screen. Diag Error will also appear.
If Diag Error appears contact your Sony dealer!

What this means is that the camera is doing a routine check or has detected an abnormality with the system.

I hope it is just performing a routine check and there is nothing wrong with your camera!

Best of luck and let me know if this was useful!

Kind regards

View finder

Ok. On your viewfinder, there might be a round dial. Turn it to adjust focus. Otherwise, sometimes viewfinders are like that... blurry, especially electronic.

Exilim z600 Static on viewing screen. Sometimes won't turn on/off

More than likely, you've just got a bad camera. I've helped with several problems with P/S cameras where the screens are either noisey or records a static like image. 9 times out of 10, it's the processor. Unless the camera is new or still under extended warranty..,

LCD and view finder not working

Well I saw on other post you can turn the screen outwards. It is very difficult to use....but you have to do what you have to do. For the view finder I am still searching for an answer..
