VX1000 ISSUES (HELP ME)

[sad]

So I've been putting this off for awhile now and it's actually getting annoying. So Issue #1, every time I move the video finder up the screen goes black and I have to take out the battery and restart my camera. Issue #2, I can no longer use the playback mode on my camera... When I switch into the mode the buttons are supposed to light up but they stay black. If someone can help me that would be very rad. Peace out fluckit

Why are you always picking on people using VXs? Let the dude film with whatever he wants.

lol because the whole vx over hype by kids who are to young to be around at the vx time is soooo annoying . if we had hd cams back in the day or i phones 100% of the people woulda had sayd fuck the vx ...it was not even good when it was new compared to other cams ... now the whole hype about the cam is the look of it and people feel like core skaters when they use it and making it look like vx in skate is even more pointles people should care about what they show and not how to show ... i have really no problem with shit qualli when the guys are not able to have it better like filming at the tv because they have something to capture and they want to share it in any way ...

ps the vx footy now on digital videos look by the way not even close to the ones on VHS

and it would be way coolr when people would try any older came or or even 8mm or 16mm for the art fakt ... but like i sayd it all abot how the actual cam look and not what comes out of it .

hch why make such strange psychological analysis's of VX filmers? the simplest and most probable reason these people film with it is because they like how it looks. both hd and vx have a different look, neither of which are objectively superior to the other. just like artists, filmers choose one medium over the other and their style develops from there. you may have your certain taste in regards to filming style, but understand that tons of people (myself included) genuinely enjoy watching vx footage, not because of some kind of trend.

So as for issue #1, it seems that you have a viewfinder ribbon cable that needs repair, for that, here are these two links that will most definitely help you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9IlXBAruZc and http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sony-DCR-VX1...-/130456335038

Now, as for the second issue, i'm not too sure on what that is, but i do know one thing, you shouldn't be using your vx1000 playback, and you should probably get another mini dv camera to use to capture and review the footage.
