Canon Fs30 Video Camera Has Blank Screen
I have a Canon FS30 video camera (approx. 3 years old). I had never had problems before, but today, I opened the screen to start recording, and the video image was totally black. The screen was still functioning, as I could see the menu, rewatch old recordings, etc. I tried to record something, even with the black screen, and unsurprisingly the recording was black as well. It's possible my kid pushed some buttons or changed a setting, but I don't know how to change it back (if that is what happened -- I never saw her do anything like that).Any ideas?
