Very helpful as I lost my manual and have had it in storage for a long time. Wanting to view my mini dv tapes so trying to figure out how to connect to a newer TV model…

[@brandoncameracollection]

You’ll have to get an av to hdmi converter like this one and also find a compatible av cable if you do not have the original

@@brandoncameracollection VERY helpful! Thank you! Obviously don’t have the three prong rca on the camcorder. It’s a single female plug like a speakerphone.

[@brandoncameracollection]

@rjoehidalgo yes if I remember right it’s a specific plug in

[@Xessive4s]

Actually just dug mine out, wanted to watch old tapes unfortunately the sound stutters an skips it's terrible, looking for ways to fix this issue

[@brandoncameracollection]

@Xessive4s that’s sounds like dirty tape heads to me. But yourself a cleaning tape and see if that helps

hey brandon, SP actually stands for standard play and the record times are 60min for sp and 90min for lp

[@brandoncameracollection]

You are right haha idk why I have been calling it short play. But I guess it is the same thing haha

[@faizasyb]

hello brandon!, i have this model dv camera, its my parents owned. i don't really know what should i do for work on it because it says "condensation" something..... do you know what it means? or what should i do? also how to know it full of batteries and how long i could used it in a day....???😢 thanks in advance

[@brandoncameracollection]

Condensation generally means there is some kind of water damage in the tape deck area. So if it has been left in a humid or damp area for a long time it might have been caused by that. And if it’s the original battery it probably won’t keep a charge for very long. A new one in my experience will last about 30-45 minutes

классная камера и ваше видео тоже

[@Mega7476]

Of course, I am using a camcorder from 2004 in 2024.

[@brandoncameracollection]
