Ours is actually doing the same thing and it is upside down, so we have to flip the screen over. Have you figured out a solution short of sending back to Sony for repairs? Thanks for any help.
The camcorder records movies just fine, the only problem is that the display screen slowly rolls like an old TV with a vertical hold problem. I can still use the touch screen but have to hit a moving target. Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve this?
