Sony Handycam HDR-FX7 HDV1080i

[BadSignalProductions]

hello. i was wondering if you could help. i recently purchased this camcorder. i just tested it recording in SD (no HDV tapes yet) & tried to import the footage using FCP. i have searched the internet trying to figure out the proper settings to import the footage & nothing seems to work. there is an error that displays when i go to i.link conv. it says "changes not allowed. unplug i.link cable" & it's not plugged. are you aware of this problem & do you know how to go about setting it up? thanks

[ryuichihz]

sorry I have no idea what will be the problem, but check if you are using the cable HDV-1080i60 Firewire Basic or try to change the DV-PAL to DV-NTSC or you might have an old version of fcp, if you have the more modern version 5.1.2, you will not have problems.

[blackmondaysk8crew]

firewire 800?

[FileStalker]

ok i am getting this. i am not computer smart. what will be the easiest way to get my recordigns onto my computer

[ryuichihz]

connect with i.link(IEEE 1394), and can also use free software to start editing

[FileStalker]

@ryuichihz no idea what that is

[NewSK8Krew]

can u import clips with a cord instead of tapes

[ryuichihz]

ofcourse using i.LINK cable, or if you just want to see tv, use the HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

[ITCATV]

I like the fx1 better

[MarioTower]

how do you import your clips onto the computer with the tapes?

[ryuichihz]

You can import by i.LINK cable ( IEEE 1394 interface )

[MarioTower]

@ryuichihz thanks man.

[punkisskates]

but can you record on this camera to a sd card and via a wire trasfer it to your mac

[sony99117]

this professional camcorder is good for many small film associations because it has got a lot of different options,two rings and good lens...Price is regular for this type of professional camcorder because it is Sony.

[tribaltravels]

i have this camera, but i have a problem that when i start the cam the the view finder doest not displace the picture while recording

[ryuichihz]

sorry, if you have no problems in recording, I think that burned your camera screen

[SundayMorningRerun]

i have that cameras cookum, the japanese vx1000

[tylagonasaurus]

how good is this camera?do you recommend it?

cause i want to get it but i dont want to spend $2,000 and not like it

[ryuichihz]

I recommended it, but in 2008,now is a little old, now I recommend the HXR-NX5J not recorded on tape, this recording to SD card, and also the new system 'Exmor'

[tylagonasaurus]

@ryuichihz okay thank you!i appreciate it!

[itsnotkarl]

@tylagonasaurus I'm getting the FX1 and the results still look brilliant. People are still filming on vx1000 with no LCD screen. It's not the camera, it's what comes out/off of it.

[akr3wproduction1]

i dug it.

[ieatyellow]

does it take photos? if so how many MP?

[ryuichihz]

sorry I do not understand 「MP」

[barty567]

@ryuichihz

MP = Megapixels.

[ryuichihz]

thanks you Ok, this one only has 1.2 Megapixeles

[ChrisGascoigneee]

@ieatyellow

FX7 Shoots still images in 4mp

[Yoshe7771]

should i get this camera for professional uses and does it need a miniDV converter or does it use a SD card?

[ryuichihz]

it uses card of Memory Stick Duo, but it is only for photo

[XxINKONERxX]

WHY IS IT IN CHINESE?

[ryuichihz]

sorry this looks like but it is not in Chinese,this one is Japanese also it has in Spanish version

[Ankit03rock]

[serbu21]

[serbu21]

is it interlaced or pixels like 1080i or 1080p

[ryuichihz]

[halobrlover]

@serbu21 - its 1080i

[serbu21]

could you put a fisheye on the lens? sorry if this question has already been asked.

[ryuichihz]

is it OK,but Sony does not have fisheye original for this model,you can buys in a specialistic shop in lenses

[skater4life1000]

what better sony vx2100 or this?

[ryuichihz]

of course this one! because vx2100 is not high definition and and the fx7 have more new tecnoligias

[editedbyfailure]

@skater4life1000 the vx2100 has better low light capibilites, so if your filming in a dark garage or something it will peform better

[GanEdenAustralia]

Mine was 6 billion rubbles.

[Mr19after6]

I have this camera, I say the only down fall is no XLR inputs and not too keen in low light situations. But other than that, its a awesome camera. I love it!

[NinjATuNaFLip]
