Is your Iris set at the widest possible setting by anychance?
 
Re: Error: side LCD went all white, now can't see

that is exactly what i was going to ask!

i remember i got my dvx-100a last year on christmas eve and the first time i really used it i was down in miami shooting a friend who is in the cirucs and the second day i turned it on and freaked out it was all white thorugh the camera!

it took me about 3 minutes to figure out it was the iris being wide open!

i was freaking out trying to figure how i was going to get someone to repair the camera really quick while i was a thousand miles away from home on my first shoot with the new camera!

there is nothing in the display. no numbers, text or anything. The menu button does nothing.
 
Re: Error: side LCD went all white, now can't see

even when i close the side LCD, it remains lit bright.
 
Re: Error: side LCD went all white, now can't see

be more specific, is it bright? does that mean white?


on the left side is a wheel and a button, it is labeled iris, press that button next to the wheel.

does that change anything?

if you put it into vcr mode what does that do?

can you take a digital photo of the lcd and post it?

Re: Error: side LCD went all white, now can't see

so how bad is Mack Camera? Looks like that is my alternative at teh moment....
 
Re: Error: side LCD went all white, now can't see

How long have you had this camera? Is it possible to return it for a NEW one? I mean if you just got this thing.
 
Re: Error: side LCD went all white, now can't see

got it used, but the mack warranty transferred to me. It has 184 hrs on it. Is it possible that the Firewire port fried? the playback functions work fine, but no video. Even if I hookup the firewire to the PC, there is no picture on the live window. Playback works tho... thoroughly confused....I shot some b eautiful stuff today too...arg...
 
Re: Error: side LCD went all white, now can't see


i would send it to the nearest mack repair center.

184 hours is a pretty good amount of usage, i have a little over 155 last time i checked. most people seem to have way less than that.

Re: Error: side LCD went all white, now can't see

I sent it off today to Mack. I'll let everyone know how it goes.
 
Re: Error: side LCD went all white, now can't see

They just logged it and the rep said I should get it back in 2-3 weeks. I shouldn't hear anything back if it all falls under warranty. I'll keep everyone posted.
