 Head cleaning I have hand a wander around the internet to find some information on Camcorder head cleaning. We have 3 Canon camcorders of varying ages and none has ever been cleaned. Now the oldest (MV30), which I mainly use for capture, has decided that it doesn't want to transfer cleanly. I realised that it must be the heads having transferred the tape to the PC on the newest camera and it was fine. Please could anyone confirm the following, or if not please tell me what I should do? I should buy a canon cleaning tape and use it for a maximum of 5 seconds at a time. One reference said that if the tape gets hot it is a lot less effective. We have almost always used the same make of tapes in the cameras. Thanks Guys Margaret   |

Yep, I simply followed the instructions on the tape cleaner and didn't overrun. Worth a shot. |
