Hi All,

I have a JVC Mini DV camcorder which has worked great over the last few years but has suddenly developed a strange fault .

When recording, it seems to go in & out of focus something chronic. .

I was wondering if anyone here can suggest a fix that isn't too expensive ?.

Thanks to all that reply

Do you have a manual focus? Other than using that instead, I can't suggest anything other than taking it to a repair shop. I've taken apart and put back together an old videocamera of mine and they're a lot more difficult to repair than say a computer.

Even in manual focus it starts to blur in & out .

I have just come back from a repair shop & they say that it will cost around £50 to repair .

So don't think that I am going to bother as it is a few years now & have heard a lot of good things about the Flip video so will consider getting that for my holiday.

Thank you for responding thou, I was starting to think it was going to remain an empty thread .
