I have a tape in it as part of a project to convert from 8mm to digital. Now the camera won't eject my tape. Help! I have the plates off so I can see the housing of the tape/cassette area but I'm not finding the 'magic button' to manually eject. Thanks.</P> Tue, 13 Aug 2013 18:54:06 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Camcorders/canon-es970-camcorder-won-t-eject/m-p/36880#M689 Darci 2013-08-13T18:54:06Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Camcorders/canon-es970-camcorder-won-t-eject/m-p/37198#M690 <P>Hi Darci!</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Thank you for posting!</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>There is not a "magic button" or switch that will manually release the tape if it is stuck and will not eject.&nbsp; This is something that would have required service in the past.&nbsp; However, the ES970 is no longer in service life and can no longer be repaired by our Factory Service Centers because replacement parts are no longer available.</P> Sun, 18 Aug 2013 13:06:21 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Camcorders/canon-es970-camcorder-won-t-eject/m-p/37198#M690 Mykolas 2013-08-18T13:06:21Z
