The problem again cropped up when I shot a video for a total of about 30 minutes, and my vacation was again spoilt because of the faulty Handycam. They again said there was a fungus infestation and it was cleaned up. Last month we were going on a vacation again, and I took the precaution of showing the handycam to the Sony Repair Center. I went again to the Sony Repair Center and they repeated what they had done earlier. When I next used the camera after about 6 months when we went on a vacation, the same problem occured again within about 15 minutes of shooting. They kept the Handycam for about 3 days and informed me that the problem was due to fungus, which they said had been cleaned up. On returning to my country (India), I went to an authorised Sony Repair Center. This did not solve the problem, and I could not shoot any more videos. Since I was a tourist in Singapore, and there was no time to go to a Sony repair center, I purchased a Sony head cleaning DV tape and tried to clean the head as per the Sony Instruction Manual. After shooting about 10 Mini DV cassettes (total 10 hours recording time) in Australia and then in Singapore, I started getting a "head dirty" indication.
