Why? It is about as rare an occurrence as having the lens

spontaneously turn pink...;-) I report common camera

ailments, and this is not one of those - and it is one that

was preventable. The camera sat on a shelf for a year

without power. Applying power for a short time every few

months recharges the internal battery (all camcorders use

these) and prevents deep discharge, which is probably

what did it in. Info that would be more relevant and useful

here would be why "nappy" makes such inane and useless

responses to my posts (and he always does it anonymously,

so that he cannot be held personally responsible for his silly

posts, the mark of a coward....). These childish "anti-David"

posts on the video NGs by "nappy" are really tiresome

and unproductive (and they do not reflect well on "nappy's"

maturity) - though I do sometimes have fun responding to

them ("tweeking" "nappy" is SO easy...!;-).
