Tape playback is good. In camera mode there are about 10 lines across the picture. They go down the screen quickly and then slowly stop, and then go up the screen quickly. When the lines stop briefly I can see that the lines look like part of the video is shifted over to the right. On a 31" TV the lines are about 1/2" wide and 2 inches apart. If this camcorder worked on AC I would say that caps in the P/S are bad; but this camcorder works on DC of course. As I was typing this email, there are now twice as many lines as before, so my problem is getting worse. Now every second also line has a bluish tinge to it. Does this sound like bad caps? Thanks.
