View Full Version : I need help with my camcorder, weird green lines, video included


Shift
Hi I have a problem with my Sony DCR-TRV19. For some reason it does some weird green effect as shown by the video

Does anyonw know why this is happening? It seems to be that it happens mostly when there is alot of light, and it happens a little less when it is darker. Sometimes that green effect leaves temporarily for like 15 mins., but always come back. I think something maybe wrong with the lenses.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Sorry I missed this earlier.

It looks to me like a CCD going bad or some of the filter curcuitry associated with it. I think you'll need to send it to Sony for a full evaluation.

Good luck.

Completely unproductive... but I have to mention it anyway.

Thats a pretty sweet effect. It reminds me of landing on my head from a snowboard jump... the sudden jar followed by the glitch in vision. The only thing missing is half the screen turning green afterwards.
