Try putting in a nice warm airy place for a day or so, it may clear the "Dew Sensor". Else it may have gone faulty. It thinks there is "Dew"moisture inside the unit near the record/playback heads.

where do you buy the things to screw the fisheye in?

I have had mine for 1 year, two months. Earlier, it booted up, and I scrolled by date to locate some older footage. Then the cam just froze up. It wouldn't power down, so I removed the battery. Replaced batterie, and booted it up, located my older footage, and it did the same thing again. Now, when I power it on, the light blinks, the "access HDD" light stays on, but it won't power up, and my computer does not see it. It is also not making that "camera on" sound that it did before. I love this camera and have never had a problem w/ it. This just happened all of a sudden. Any ideas, anyone? I even pushed the "reset" button, but even though it lights up, it won't boot up.

The Camera comes with a program called video cam suite. install it. once its installed open it and on the side of the program click your cameras drive. it will load. once its done loading click the day taht your video is on and on the left click copy to pc. This does not work on Windows 7 or Vista 64 bit.

If you are on a Windows 7 or Vista 64 bit plug in your camera. open the drive and there is a folder called Sd_Video. This does NOT mean SD card. so once you click it scroll down to the newest folder that has a number on it
The PRIVATE folder has nothing of use, but do not delete it.
once in the folder copy all of the Video files to your pc.

There you go! HOPE I HELPED!!! :)

is the battery fully charged?

Apparently the software that Panasonic sent with my video camera is not compatible with Windows XP Service Pack 3. The solution is spending $79 on another software. Not happy about it, but grateful for your exper that helped me get this resolved. Thanks.

Did you try uploading using a firewire card and firewire cable? It is an alternative to USB and is the most preferred way of transferring video from the camcorder these days. Also did you try uploading the video using windows movie maker? COnnect your camcorder to your computer and press the capture from camera option to capture the video on your camcorder to your computer. If you have already tried everything then the simplest way to transfer is to remove the 1.5" hard drive connect it to your computer(your computer should have SATA connector), transfer the video and put the hard drive back into the camcorder. Might sound crazy but its a very effective way considering the fact that it is quite easy to remove the hard disk from most camcorders.

Let me know if you need more help,
Sai.

People who own JVC MOD camcorders, Panasonic MOD camcorders or Canon MOD camcorders encountered the same issue with--- what to do with the MOD files---the God forsaken video format.

Hi goren_clan, I've successfully downloaded & install the videocam suite 1.0 + update from here: http://www.brothersoft.com/videocam-suite-297215.html Thanks to Google! --afee

in able for you to copy the video file from your camera you need to install the software to your computer ( video cam suite V.1 ) and your computer must have ability to Burn DVD, plug your mini USB to your video camera and plug the other end to your Computer turn the camera on then press the DVD copy on your camera this will launch the software from your PC make sure you have the Empty DVD to your DVD drive, that should do it...

I hope you have WIN XP on your computer. Windows XP has 3 versions of service pack (SP) available. SP1, SP2 and SP3. For more information on obtaining SP, please refer:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322389

Following is the direct link for downloading SP3
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=68C48DAD-BC34-40BE-8D85-6BB4F56F5110&displaylang=en

NB: SP is a huge file and will take long time depending on the speed of your internet connection. SP2 download would fail in 'dial up' internet connection. Also installation of SP will take a long time, depending on the configuration and the performance of your system

So you mean you just rename the file? That is doing nothing then it is actually making the file almost useless. That isn't called converting as well. To convert you can download any one of the many programs out there for converting formats such as this. Here is an example

Thanks and enjoy,

Maybe you need some NTSC encoder, just google it ...

Your battery is likely shot then if it discharged too low. If the camera works okay off the charger itself, then just replace battery. If not, might be cheaper to replace camera than repair.
