SONY DVCAM DSR-PD150 - immediate help needed

Sep 2, 2011 6:44AM PDT

I borrowed the above named camcorder from a friend to shoot my sister-in-law's wedding. But there's a problem, it shoots in red.
I thought it was just the LCD, but after rolling on seomthing and playing it my other SONY, I realized it's the actual camera. Anyone have any ideas to fix it?

I'd say it needs repair.

Contact your friend to find a repair shop and see if (for this very special occasion) they are willing to lend (or rent) him (or you) another camcorder if they can't fix it before the event.

'Now while you have the LCD screen open find on the small panel ofcontrol switches the reset button. Take a blunt pencil or pen and pressthe reset button... you will hear some beeps then nothing. This resets thecamera to the Factory default standards and is now ready for you to make further changes using the MENU button.'
