Troubleshoot a JVC Video Camera
Because JVC video cameras often include functions such as HD recording, fade in/fade out capabilities, LCD monitor viewing and varying shutter speeds for those cameras that have still photo capabilities, it can be difficult to understand what is causing the problem when the camera doesn't seem to work properly. A JVC video camera owner can go over a few things when troubleshooting a video camera to try to understand why a specific function or feature isn't working as expected.
Instructions
1. Replace the cassette tape if an error message appears that reads, "Tape End." This means the current tape is full. If you have a problem recording and the tape is new or not full, then check to make sure the cassette holder cover is completely closed. If it is open, close it and attempt to record again.
2. Connect the AC adapter securely to the wall, as well as to the camera if there is no power when attempting to turn on the camera. In some cases, the battery may be dead or not installed correctly. If you are not using a power cord and want to see if the battery is operational, take the battery out of the camcorder and replace it. Sometimes, the battery is not inserted completely into the right spot.
3. Adjust the position of the flip-out LCD monitor if the images on the monitor appear to be washed out or too dark. Changing the position of the monitor or of your head can bring a different view of the monitor.
4. Disconnect the AC adapter from the camera if you are hoping to see the status of your battery. If this does not work, turn the camera off and then back on again. The battery status icon should now appear in the corner of the LCD screen or viewfinder.
5. Remove the lens cap from the camera if the words "LENS CAP" flash on the screen. Because these words will only flash for five seconds after turning on the camera, make a habit out of checking for the lens cap any time that the LCD screen is dark and it appears that there is no video being recorded.
