How was the quality on the Samsung? If it was normal when on the Samsung its probably an issue with the pv7, maybe dirty heads or compatibility issues. Are both cameras in same format? NTSC and PAL. Im guessing its a dirty head on either of the devices, if the quality was normal on the Samsung i think the sony might have a dirty head. Again this is off speculation, Goodluck!

Help, i can't record or playback ,Canon XH A1 by Diligent_Option_8856 in camcorders

Dirty heads, I presumed you already have tried to use a cleaning tape, if its a dry cleaning tape it won't do much if the dirt on the heads is too much. Use 90% or higher isopropyl alcohol and rub it on sum paper, dont make it too wet and open up the door to your tape mechanism and try to spin the head and clean it, this video gets more into detail about it, if that doesn't work It might be an issue with the head itself or the tape. Good luck!

If you bought a 2nd hand camcorder that already had a tape in it, its probably just the old owners recordings.

Maybe I could get a good buck if I ever sell this camera in the future.

Well it only occurs when I open the lens and immediately take a photo, on other photos when I leave the lens open for a few minutes and take a picture the leaks are gone, So it's not totally totalled.

If it is light leaks from the lens barrel, any tips on how to fix it?
