DON'T BUY ANY SHARP EVER I bought the camera from Sam's club. It worked only for about 10 tapes. After that every time I was turning the camera on the DEW was lit and the camera was going off.
I did a research on the internet and every one with VL-Z series had the same problem. Whoever was trying to get in touch with the company had no result.
I WILL NEVER BUY ANY SHARP PRODUCT.
