So I was just setting up to shoot a TV spot on-location... my lighting was perfect, my focus looked good, the talent had her lines down, then I realized the HVX was locked up! The viewfinder gave me a live picture, but I could not record, then I tried switching to VCR mode and it did nothing.... I tried turning the camera off... IT DID NOT TURN OFF!

I had to manually pull out the battery. Then when I put it back it turned on, but the button was in the off position!!!

I could not do anything to it.

I just dropped it off at the store I bought it from - they are going to look at it.

I had to send the cast and crew home!!!!

URGH.. Has anyone here heard of this happening before>?

Did you try the Reset button?

You have a manual. On page 126, the RESET button is discussed.

It is behind the LCD screen on the cam's body to the left as you face that compartment.

Use a point object to press the RESET button the cam.
