A common problem with the Canon DV cameras: There is a switch around the big record button on the handgrip that you put your hand in (ie not the handle on the top). This switch has 'standby' and 'lock'. In order for the camera to be turned on this switch must be set to 'standby' not 'lock'. If set to 'lock' then the camera won't turn on. | A common problem with the Canon DV cameras: There is a switch around the big record button on the handgrip that you put your hand in (ie not the handle on the top).
