My video camera records for short time then cuts out some times.If I persist the tape can come out of its cassette and get tangled. When I test the camera it usually works well. I thought it might be the brand of tape but TDK and Sony both have not worked properly at times. There has been a small amount of mosaicing in the beginning of the tape as well so I did a tape head clean. I have undone the door to see if there is any dust inside and have a good view of the head and other workings. It is a Panasonic AG-EZ35E. This might be similar to the AG-EZ30 which the box below allowed me to enter. Thank you David

This is usually caused by the tape. If it is a new tape, try to do a full rewind and then fast forward of the tape. Then try to record again.
