 Camcorder exposure wrong Hi, my friend's camcorder has stopped exposing correctly. It is just always overexposed and manual and auto has no effect. Before I suggest a shop repair, can anyone offer an idea of what is wrong? TIA -- John the West Ham fan   |

This can be done in "manual" setting on most cameras. If you get a darker picture with higher shutter speed, the apreture is the problem. -- AsleB;Oslo;Norway |
