Greetings again,
After months of issues with this unit and the issue I had in the other post of the pixelated picture when a flash goes off, well after they had the camera for 7 weeks, they replaced the Main Board and Coaxel Cable in the unit.
So I take the unit out of the box, go to do a small job for a friend, and find that half the buttons do not function.
Is there a default reset button for this unit, to reset to factory settings? I looked through menu options could not find anything.
Anyway, I go to zoom on the handle, and it does nothing, its on variable, not fixed, and where you slip your hand into the unit, that zoom works, but' when i zoom in, it automatically zooms back out, and my remote unit plugged into the lanc connection does not zoom either, or focus, only record lamp works, "light" as recording does not seem to work either, light comes on, but the record timer sits at 00:00:00:00.
After finding this out, they had it in on auto settings, so I switched to manual, and nothing happens, no manual control either, also the shot transition buttons are not working..
They said they fully tested this unit before posting back to me, im like really annoyed now, this is costing me money as I am having to hire a camera at present because my $9,000 unit has been broken for months.
I will be asking they replace this unit, its beyond a joke now imo, im just really upset at the moment, I cannot use my secondary camera as it does not have HDV options.
I spent a good hour playing with settings, and did not get anywhere.
Im stumped and have just about had it with Sony.
Cheers
