Title: Sony HD camera shutting off at shows
Post by: popskull on September 06, 2008, 12:11:21 PM

I did a search on this topic and couldnt find anything

Theres a drop sensor in the sony hd cams that seems to get activated by the vibrations of a loud rock concert ...............it turns off the deck to save the harddrive

Has anyone else had this problem?


thx- Mike

Yes.  I think Doug (from CA) has this problem too with his Sony HD camera. He may have done something to fix it.

I'd check at this forum - lots of smart people when it comes to video and video equipment.  Kind of like TTS - but for video.

My sony is the same way. It's fine for everything but rock shows or loud concerts in general. I use a Panasonic pv-gs500 thats uses tape for concerts and loud music.I don't think there's a fix. The internal hard drive can't take the vibrations at a loud shows.

I haven't had the problem so far, I just got my Sony HDR-SR12 recently and it has an option to turn off the hard disc protection. Don't know about the other models.
