Sony Mini-DV HandyCam DCR-HC28

[dtulloh]

I am using the Sony DCR-HC28 with fire wire connected to my Windows XP SP3 computer. I'm doing video capture via Adobe Premiere CS4. Once in a while the camera will exhibit odd behavior. For no apparent reason during a capture, it will cycle what seems like video effects. Sepia tone, Black and White, Pixilation, and finally fade to black (which also cuts out the sound). Any one have any ideas what might cause something like this?
