    Hi,

    I bought a used DVX100A. I notice, at times, it records what I’m shooting with a blue hue; this is after I turn the camera on after not using it for awhile. To fix this I have taken off the front of the camera and snapped it back on. It happened today, and I broke a metal connector off of the focus ring – the one that i connected to the camera. Now, it is impossible to focus.

    Do you know when I can take this for a fix, and an approximate cost? Also, any thoughts on why it produces an overall blue recorded image?

    Thanks,

    Jimmy

    Depends where in the world you are- most camera rental houses that rent Panasonic can point you in the right direction if they can’t do the repair themselves.

    We send ours to some guys in Seattle. If I wasn’t sitting a recliner with a Pug in my lap, I’d get the info for you. I’ll look it up tomorrow though.
