Looks like Iris is Stuck wide-open. I can see the Iris Close when unit is turned Off,then Open when turned On. It is not adjusting when panned near Light and Dark images. Dark images look 'ok'........ Light/Bright images are washed out(completely White). (First assuming the Iris is a replacable part in this unit)...Normally I would just order the Iris Assembly(and I may), but I thought I would throw this out for any Canon/Mini DV/Camcorder experts who may have seen some type of Iris 'control' problems. BTW,the customer stated(and it has once for me) this unit will work fine at times(Iris works properly) Peggs Peggs' Electronics 1519 West 2nd Street Owensboro,KY 42301 270-926-4968 fax 270-686-7399 peggs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This Email List is Public.
