The performance of your camcorder largely depends on the cleanliness of its head. If it gets dirty, it will immediately affect the quality of the video. To prevent this from happening, you need to know how to properly get rid of dirt on this part.
It is necessary
- - special cleaning cassette;
- - unnecessary cassette;
- - flannel fabric;
- - alcohol;
- - cotton swabs;
- - magnifier;
- - special liquid for cleaning the heads of the video camera;
- - the phone number of a specialized service center.
Instructions
Step 1
If you see that your camera head is clogged, the easiest way to clean it is to fast forward the unwanted cassette. If this does not help, then it is worth using more drastic means.
Step 2
Purchase a special cleaning cassette from a specialist retailer that is suitable for your camcorder. Paste it in and click on "Play" mode. Many experts claim that the cassette tape contains sufficiently strong abrasive substances, so the cleaning period should be minimal - from five to ten seconds.
Step 3
If you are unable to purchase a cassette, you can try cleaning the camcorder head in the following way: take a small piece of lint-free flannel cloth. Soak it in alcohol and gently place it on the drum head. Press down on the fabric with one hand and gently roll the drum as it moves with the other. Let the head dry a little, close the cap and try a test shot.
Step 4
You can also purchase a special liquid for cleaning such devices in specialized stores. According to experts, this option is more preferable than alcohol.
Step 5
If all of the above methods turned out to be ineffective, then you can take the video camera to a specialized service center, where specialists will take care of it.
