https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Camcorders/ZR45MC-images-are-just-black/m-p/534426#M6642 <P>Hi found my mom's old camcorder and I'm having trouble with both screens not receiving any picture from the sensor camera turns on and is fully operational but when pictures are taken it just black. Is there any way to fix this. Thank you.</P> Fri, 14 Feb 2025 13:28:01 GMT LukeA9112 2025-02-14T13:28:01Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Camcorders/ZR45MC-images-are-just-black/m-p/534426#M6642 <P>Hi found my mom's old camcorder and I'm having trouble with both screens not receiving any picture from the sensor camera turns on and is fully operational but when pictures are taken it just black.
