How can you tell if a camcorder head cleaning is necessary?

Answer by  honey15 (22)

If the camcorder cannot record correctly, it needs cleaning. The way to tell is if the recorded video or picture is blurry, has dots on it, or is not clear.

You can do it once a year if you use it regularly . Best Buy can just look at it and recommend cleaning if necessary . You can take a service contract from Best Buy if you want .
