I own a GR-D90U mini DV product for about close to three years. I rarely used this product and have shot footage on rare occassions. However, it was not then when I got involved with video editing I noticed the same exact Len's Cap error msg. I would leave the camera on auto mode for about 10 minutes and the viewfinder will some how reset itself. After turning the camera off, then, turning it back on, i'll get the same exact Len's Cap error msg. I tried to investigate the problem online and it turns out that everybody has this same headache with NO ANSWER. www.JVC.com referred me to a moms and pops repair shop where I would have to spend a set up a $35 service fee! How ridiculous is this? I'm sure these repair shops no how to solve this problem. Moms and Pops are just out there to make money.
