Hi,

I have recently bought my very first video camera - a Sony TRV20E and am
experiencing a few problems with it.

1. When using a standard tape (without cassette memory) I got
pixellation (and I tried this on two different standard tapes). The
pixelation occurs as a straight line every now and then, not constantly.
When using a higher quality tape, I didn't get any pixelation at all.

2. The camera seems to keep refocusing every now and then. It goes all
fuzzy and then focuses again. This seems to happen more often when we
are filming a subject that isn't moving around.

3. And finally, I canno for the life of me figure out how to have te
date and/or time on the screen while filming. I know you can set a title
and it appears for a few seconds when you start recording but then goes
away. But there should be someway to have it show the date in one of the
bottom corners like you can on a nomal stills camera?

If anyone can help with this I would be very grateful!

And if you could reply to me as well as the newgroup I would be even
more grateful!

Thanks

Marianna, you might like to try the eGroup for Sony TRV20 users on Yahoo.
Currently, there are several hundred members.  Good place to ask questions.
