My canon ZR70 MC camcorder was working fine last week.

The next day when I attempted to use it, it will record nothing but
BLACK, as if the lense cap was on (but it wasn't).

I can record with it and play it back. It picks up the sound, but the
picture is black. Its as if it's not seeing through the lense, if that
makes sense.

What could be wrong???

Thanks.
