Panasonic HDC-HS900

[spazze]

Hey,

I have a Panasonic HDC-HS900 and I need help with 2 things.

1)
Where is the night vision on this camera?
I've had it almost 2 yrs but still hasn't found it. In the settings I can adjust the colors, light and there's a button icon with a half moon which is the closest I can get to a "night vision" but in pitch darkness nothing shows up on the screen, it's just as dark as in the room. That's not night vision!

Alternative, can I buy something so it can become night vision + infrared to the camera?

2)
I was filming one night, the camera was standing recording on it own, but, 1-2 hours in, the zoom went into max zoom and since then it has been stuck there. Everytime I start my camera it zooms in to max. I can zoom out by having the -zoom on the screen pressed down at the same time press the -zoom button on top of the camera. For it to stay in un zoomed I must have the zoom button on top of the camera pressed towards the -zoom all the time.

I've used tape and strings to keep it in place, but it's such a hassle to do everytime I want to film...

Any idea how I can fix it?

Thanx!
