Hi!

I just got a Sony ccd-v700e camcorder while cleaning out a house, and last time i played back the DV-tape, the picture was in color.

Now, both tape-playback and the picture in the viewfinder is in black 'n' white?

I don't have the manual, so i don't know where to change the settings if that's the only issue...

I'm going to sell this thing, but first i need to make sure it works properly.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried plugging it into a monitor/tele as I could be wrong but I recall that most viewfinders of that era were monochrome.

When i looked at the tape last time, it was on a television with composite, and it was in color.

Now it is in Black/White.

Nevermind, now it works again... dunno why tho. lol
