when i switch on the screen wont focus ,lots of lines ,it will play stuff pre recored ok but if i record with lots off lines it will just record them.yet if i leave the camcorder 15-20min moving focus in and out it will settle down and work fine till battery worn out,then problem will start again

Just a thought tried a video head cleaner tape for your machine as it may be dirty recording /playback heads. Only get the one for your camera it should tell you in the user manual what type it is. Had this on a VCR put a head cleaner tape in and it cured the problem.
