this is a very common problem

this is a very common problem with canons i have  a couple of zr mini dv cams that do the same thing. the cassette compartment needs to be aligned. sometimes the head gets broken but mostely it is the alignment issue. i have not found how to do this yet. evryone i ask either dont no or wants me to send it in for 100 to work on it.  i am still tryin to find out how and if i do i will let u no.

have now sorted out this

have now sorted out this problem of tapes ejecting whenloading, this is due to CONDENSATION,

if the camcorder is not used and stored over a long period, dampness builds up inside and to avoid

any damage to the internal electronics a sensor refuses to accept the tape.

TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM ;-    SWITCH ON THE CAMCORDER , WITHOUT TAPE AND LEAVE ON IN THE CAMERA MODE FOR ABOUT 4 HRS, DURING THIS TIME THE CAMCORDER WILL GET QUITE HOT,

  AND DRI'S OUT ANY CONDENSATION BUILT UP INSIDE. (best to plug into mains , for power when

doing the above),  if it does not correct problem first time, leave on and extend drying period.

good luck, worked great for me,

What happens is that the

What happens is that the camera detects that the heads are not spinning.  This can occur due to a number of reasons.  Condensation on the heads is one reason.  There are others.  When a tape is loaded, the camera knows this because a small switch is closed by the cassette housing.  This will cause the heads to spin up.  As long as the heads move, teh camera will continue.
