the camera lens does not seem to open, with a warning at the main screen that the lens cap is still attatched.

Hmmmm. this may be a tricky one.

I fear that with this problem, if you open up the lens assembly you may get tiny specks of dust inside there (which is a frequent problem with D-SLR cameras. Also it may have been packaged in a protective atmosphere to prevent condensation forming on the inside of your lenses (might even be a vacuum).

Anyway, we can’t realy help you without a bit more detail.
does the lens extend out from the camera, and is it two black shutters that close over the lense and open automatically when you switch the camera on?

If so, is any of the mechanism jammed or sticky? Try cleaning it out carefully.

Not much more I can think of unless it is an internal fault, in which case I suppose you should contact the manufacturer for advice/repair.

Is there an accessory (any wind filter) for the jvc camcorder that cuts out the wind noise?

There should be a ‘cut’ or ‘wind cut’ option in the menu somewhere that’ll do it. Other than that it all depends on the model of camcorder you have, if it’s an internal or external mic, and if there’s something at http://www.thewindcutter.com/shop/ that will help.

Video I borrowed from a friend pointing out our ( not mine ) obsession with spending money we don’t have ( credit cards ) on goods we usually DON’T NEED.
If your mobile is working OK, then why buy another? WHY buy a new car when you other one is still great at 5 years old. My mother’s car is 15 years old this year and runs fantastic, plus STILL does 40 miles per gallon ‘around town’, 60 on a motorway run.

Im interested in buying a JVC GZ-HD7 mainly cuz its one of the few hard drive camcorders that doesnt rely soley on the flip out screen for viewing. I read a review that sed it would be a great camcorder despite its flaws except the 1000+ price tag but since they dont make em any more i may be able to get one on ebay for like 200 at most. should i buy this camcorder. Im not trying to be a hardcore filmmaker at the moment but idk if i chud buy it what do u guys think?

If you can buy the camera for $200.00, then that’s a good price. But one major flaw of the camera is that it is a HDD (Hard Disk Drive) camcorder and doesn’t use memory cards. If you were to drop the camera or bump it hard enough, the drive could become damaged and you would loose all your video. HDD cameras consume more battery power too. Just some things to consider.

I have a JVC GR-D270US and a replacement 1400mAh 7.2V Li-Ion battery. It was sitting and not being used for about 6-8 months, and when I connect it to the camcorder and plug the AC adapter into the cam, it will not take a charge

However, the original battery that has been sitting for over a year will take a charge no problem. (However it only lasts for 15 minutes, hence why I bought a replacement.)

The replacement battery is only about 2 years old, and has not been used very much. Is there some way of getting it to take a charge again?

Maybe the charger is damaged. or you should visit the supplier whom you but that camcorder.

So, I have a JVR Digital Video Camera GR DV500U – and honestlly I’ve never even owned a video camera; so I just ejected the last casette and put a new one in….but I can’t figure out how to make hte mechanism go back in.
Help please?

Did you read the manual?

If you put the tape in correctly, gently press the tape mechanism and it will close… then close the cover. Don’t just close the cover – you’ll break stuff that way.
