As an addition to this I have found that on the VXF1 it is possible to favourite a video and still so it is not deleted when you “Delete All”
Playback > Video Set Up > Scene Protect > select video
Similar with the still shot except you must be in Camera playback.
I have filmed my Address and Phone Number in the (vain?) hope if Ilose it the camcorder gets returned (or at least the SD Card?)
I lost a camera once, in a multi story car park in Gloucester, it must have fallen out then I got out. I never even bothered to inform the carpark or police. Most people regard it as ‘finders keepers’.
@Bretrick Sad to hear you didn’t get it back … but as others have said most folk do think ‘finders keepers’.
Was it insured?
I have mine insured for up to £5000 for just over £70 a year . That is so for lost, stolen, damaged etc etc
I never realised they were so expensive so it’s wise to insure them.
The Panasonic G9ii with with the
12 - 60mm f2.8 lens is around £2000
No, Not insured.
Check on your house contents insurance, you might have some cover for cameras there.
I don’t have specific insurance for my cameras either but the camcorder is the most expensive and it was less than $900 (£450) so it doesn’t seem worth insuring.
I live a frugal, minimalist life and do not have house and contents insurance.
Maybe some “Roo” has it.
You haven’t thought about buying another camcorder since?
I’ll cross my fingers that an honest person found it, turned it in.
I never bought a dedicated camcorder. I bought a Nikon Cool Pix L820.
It features a 16MP sensor and a 30x optical zoom lens and full HD video,
Should be sufficient for my requirements.
Has been over 12 months. Not getting that one back. Damn blighter.
