    I owned one of these in 1989. Bought it new, and still have some tapes recorded with it.

    I have a camera which looks like a VHS screen but it said it was an 8mm Video Camcorder. Type: Canon ES50

    Hi there, I have one of these and I love it, EXCEPT, it has a stuck iris making it not so great as a recording device unless i like filming solid black. Any suggestions on how I might get to the iris to un-stick it? Ever experienced this?

      @@njbreeze2330 You know I've know really had it on enough to figure that out. I would look for a user manual online. I'll be looking into it soon though. I'm getting mine back from a fella who was able to "shock" my 450's iris back into working order.. hopefully it stays that way.. best takeaway.. don't leave the AG450 off for 20-30 years.. :)

    Question. All i do to charge the battery is leave it plugged into the adapter & it’ll just do the rest? ; only asking because i just purchased one and when i test it out it works while plugged in but I’m assuming the batteries just need more time to charge? ; if u could get back to me on this I’d highly appreciate it!

    • @RobbieStrike

      Was my batteries are over 20 years old so they don't work anymore. Just the age of the old one's. When I ran it in this video I had it plugged in the whole time I was operating. I haven't looked to see if you can actually buy new ones but I doubt it considering the fact that that model has been made in years

    I have one, but I can't seem to get video to record or show up in the viewfinder, or even on a TV, any ideas?

    • @RobbieStrike
      @RobbieStrike  2 роки тому

      Do you have the output adapter? It switches modes when you slide the cover for the buttons. Maybe the switch there is not working!

  • @timmyinthewell1

    I bought the exact same camcorder. I tried to return mine because the manual iris never worked properly. But they said that was a known issue and wouldn't take it back.

    • @RobbieStrike
      @RobbieStrike  3 роки тому

      "known issue" What kind of excuse is that, They should have got you a new one. Hopefully you did not buy from that store again!

    • @timmyinthewell1
      @timmyinthewell1 3 роки тому +1

      ​@@RobbieStrike I got it mail order out of NY, when I told him the problem he said it was a known issue with that model. I told him how could I have known that? He said I should have tried one out in a store near me before I bought it. The manual iris would work partially, but it would fully close if you turned it past half closed or so. I think I paid close to $1500 for it. I was a huge fan of Panasonic camcorders and VCR's. The AG-450 was my 4th Panasonic videocamera ( and first camcorder ) at the time. Looking back I was way more impressed with the WV-3260 when I first got it. The picture was incredible for the time. Whereas the AG-450 seemed not much better than the consumer level S-VHS Camcorders at the time.

    Hello ! I have two of these and they power up when plugged in and everything seems operational, but the viewfinder shows no image and they seem not to record when I press record. Any suggestions? Thanks !!! Love your video !!!!

    • @RobbieStrike

      you could swap the viewfinder with a different Panasonic camcorder!
