Thanks for the do-it-yourself fix info. Didn’t want to void the extended warranty so I sent it back to Mack Camera.
The least Panasonic should do is fix this specific issue for free.
The whole ordeal was costly and a huge pain…

Same thing! Haven’t use the HVX200 for about a month,
went to use it and it goes directly to record mode, that’s it.
All buttons are non-responsive – had to pull the battery
to stop the thing.

I’m a creative director for a tv network and I depend
on the camera every month. All set for the green screen shoot and I had to rent another camera – I got a Sony.

This will be the second time it’s been in the repair shop.
Hate to pile on but Panasonic does not make it easy to
stay loyal to their products.

Looking for a local NYC repair shop. Last time it was in the shop
for 2 months – sent to Mack Camera. (That’s another long story
as well.)
Thanks for your suggestions!
