My camera won't record anything in night vision mode, it just shows a black screen. Is there something I'm doing wrong or is this a defect in my unit?

1. Insufficient Lighting**: Night vision cameras require a certain level of ambient light to function correctly. If the area you're filming is too dark, it may not be able to pick up any images. Sensor Overload**: Some night vision cameras have a sensor overload protection feature that kicks in when there's too much infrared radiation. This can cause the camera to display a black screen. Infrared Filter Issue**: The infrared filter is what allows the camera to see in low-light conditions. If this filter is damaged or obstructed, it may prevent the camera from functioning properly. Incorrect Settings**: Make sure you're using the right settings for night vision mode. Some cameras require a specific setting or mode to be enabled before they'll work correctly. Defective Sensor or Infrared LED**: It's possible that there's something wrong with the sensor or infrared LEDs in your camera. If this is the case, it may need to be replaced by a professional. Lens Obstruction**: Make sure the lens of your camera isn't obstructed by anything. This could include dirt, dust, or other debris that might block the view. Camera Settings Not Syncing**: In some cases, the night vision mode settings on your camera might not be syncing with the actual hardware. This can cause it to display a black screen. To troubleshoot this issue, I would recommend trying the following:

- Check the ambient light levels in the area you're filming. Ensure that the infrared filter is clear and undamaged. Try adjusting the night vision settings on your camera. Clean the lens of your camera to ensure it's not obstructed by any debris. If none of these troubleshooting steps resolve the issue, it may be worth considering having a professional take a look at your camera to determine if there's a more serious problem.

I just got my new Denver KCA-1320 camcorder and I'm having trouble recording on VHS tapes, it seems like the video is being recorded in reverse, how do I fix this problem?

1. Reversed Heads**: Check if your VHS tapes have the heads reversed. Some tapes are manufactured with the heads reversed, which can cause playback issues. Incorrect Recording Mode**: Ensure that you're using the correct recording mode for your camcorder. The KCA-1320 has a few different modes, such as SP (Super Play), LP (Long Play), and EP (Economy Play). Try switching to a different mode to see if it resolves the issue. Head Reversal Switch**: Some camcorders have a head reversal switch that can be flipped to resolve this issue. Check your camcorder's manual or online documentation to see if such a switch exists and how to access it. Faulty Heads**: In rare cases, the heads on your VHS tapes might be faulty or damaged, causing the playback issues. Try cleaning the heads with a soft cloth or replacing the tapes entirely. To troubleshoot further:

* Check the camcorder's manual for specific instructions on how to adjust recording modes and head reversal switches. Consult online forums or communities where users of your camcorder model may have encountered similar issues. Try recording on different types of VHS tapes, such as high-quality tapes or ones specifically designed for video recording. If you're still having trouble after trying these steps, it might be worth consulting a professional repair service or contacting the manufacturer's customer support.

I've got an issue with my camcorder, the zoom isn't working properly and I'm not sure why, can you help me troubleshoot this problem?

Let's get to the bottom of it. Can you tell me more about what's happening when you try to use the zoom feature? For example, is it just not zooming in or out at all, or is it doing something weird like zooming in and out rapidly?

Also, have you tried cleaning the lens on your camcorder? Sometimes a dirty lens can cause issues with the optics.
