Question
cannot see thru view finder to record:but can see thru viewfinder to see pre_recorded  material.  any suggestions?

Answer
Hi Dave,

It is most likely the CCD.  If the CCD is bad, it will not send a video signal to the view-finder.  I suggest a new camera.  Repair is not a good idea on older cameras.  You could get a used VHS camera for twenty or thirty dollars.  Or get a new digital video camera.  Canon has one for $330.

Expertise

I can answer questions about point and shoots and 35mm SLR`s from the 1960s to present. I can also handle most questions on digital cameras from "camera" makers, like Nikon, Olympus, Canon, Sony, etc. Though usually I`m not too familiar with the driver interface, as 3rd party devices for download are more efficient. Sorry, but I can no longer answer questions about the value of old cameras.
