This is a TRV310 Digital 8 unit, about 7 years old. Recently, I noticed a strange image problem. In record mode, indoors the colors are dull in good light and the image is very dark in low light conditions. Outdoors in bright shade or sun, everything appears way overexposed. This is the case whether observing in the LCD, the b/w viewfinder or playback of the recorded image. Note, playback of old recordings before the problem arose is fine. All other functions appear normal. Even more interesting is that I can intermittently get the proper image restored in record mode by physically pressing on parts of the camcorder case. Unfortunately, I can't get that to work consistently or for any extended period of time. It's like there is a loose connection or something inside. Obviously, it may just be time to get a new camcorder but I'm wondering how difficult/costly it would be to fix. TIA for any suggestions.
