then pwr shuts off? I have a quite good so far Panasonic NV-DS50 camcorder, which powers up, then after a few secs., the power indicator flashes, and neither camera record or playback functions will operate. Then after about 30 seconds, the power goes off.All 3 batteries are all OK and does same with different and new tapesI've seen a suggestion on 'fixya' that it is a RESET done from the onscreen Menu, by going to 4. DISPLAY SETUPBut it hasn't worked for me.Anyone with a known fix out there?Or someone I can go /come to to show this older video novice how to operate out of this problem?Or a good repair place (in Melb. preferably) who will quote to fix?
