Vixia HF S200 recording purple snow over video

Trex66 — Mon, 06 Apr 2020 01:48:33 GMT

No trauma to the camera that I know of. One day I was recording and could see green snow and horizontal lines on the bottom third of the frame. That was a few months ago and now that I have some time decided to take a look at it.

So when I turn it on the top two thirds of the frame has purple snow but I can see through it almost like it’s transparent. When I play a video on the camera the purple is full screen. When I pull the memory card and play on my computer all recordings are ok excel for the two I took in the day it broke. And they only have the purple snow on the lower third of the screen.

Something is really odd about all this I know it was first green snow now it’s purple...

Hoping it might be a lose ribbon or some other quick fix. If it’s the processor or focal body I’m looking at a bigger bill.

Anyone have any idea what is going on here. I also reset the camera to factory specs.

Forgot to mention when I put it in picture mode it’s clear except for a two or three short horizontal white lines

I realize the post is nearly five years old, but wondering if you found the source of the issue. I have two cameras exhibiting the exact same symptons.
