Video camera's picture turns red. Please Help!
 

I bought a Panasonic PV-DV953 D about 3 years ago. It was working fine.
But, I didn't use it for about 2 years and its been sitting in my
closet. When I turn it on a couple days ago, the picture thru the
viewfinder and the lcd flip-out-monitor is all red and when i record,
it records red. This happens every so often, and its happening alot
more. Is there something I can do to fix it? Is the camera broken? Has
anyone ever had this problem? I'm afraid if I turn it in to get it
fixed the picture will be fine and the technicians won't see the red
picture that happens when I turn it on.

Please Help!

Before doing anything else, verify that the "White Balance" controls
are set to "Auto" or match the environment in which your are taking
pictures (Sunlight if outdoors, etc).
