I am using an Sony SD/hc 1 class 10 memory card... my video comes stops, restarts, jerks, trying to figure out if camera is broken or user issue ?

When we downloaded our videos and tried to view them with windows media player, we had the same issue. Try using Quicktime. We did, and our videos have played without the jerking! Hope that solves your issue.

Did it power off after five minutes or did it stop recording after 5 minutes? Is your SD card full? I would think the only reason it would stop recording after five minutes would be if your SD card is full. If it is not, I would probably return it.

Have you checked the specs on the memory card you are using? Some of the faster cards are not that compatible with the camera.

I'm sure you got it figured out by now, but to anyone else, I use a CLASS 10 SDHC 8GB card with no problems. Key is that it is CLASS 10. And the video length can be changed in settings.

After owning this machine for about 3 months, I have my question answered. I have tried class 4, 6 and 10 SDHC cards, and they all perform nicely without any problem, all the video (1080i) playback were smooth no matter they were recorded by class 4, 6 or 10.Also, still very happy about my purchase, just came back from a family vacation over the summer, and this one device does it all, my camcorder is now collecting dust.

How is the playback of the choppy file from cam to tv via HDMI? If that's choppy too, I'd suspect it was a recording issue. Does your memory card have a high enough transfer speed to handle the bitrate of that file? I film in the bluray format , and have no issues, however I do use a 600x card.

Is yours only recording a single 3 minute clip/frame/segment or a number of them? Check your settings. I have mine set for 5 minute frames/segments etc. It records continuously for several hours (32GB) but when I down load the card the entire recording is appears in 5 minute segments. Makes it easier to find a spot in the journey. ??????

Hi! It seemed like it is an SD Card's issue & 1st, you should verify that the Small Lock on SD Card is switched to Unlock Position (look at around Top Left Corner from Front) & if it is still not functioning right, you might try to use this SD Card to other Devices such as Digital Camera or Camcorder to see SD Card can be recognized or not. Hoped it would helps.

Did it power off? Do you use SD cards on your video camera ?. If you don't have SD cards the camera will power off. I only replace SD cards, and since I have this fabulous camera I have bought SD cards only once.I only recharge the battery, never had to change it.

I am having the same problem...in fact, I just went back and reread some of the reviews, because I can't believe I am the only one who is experiencing this. Everyone raves about this camera! I, too, would like to know what I am doing wrong.

Not sure what is the problem you are having. I didn't have any problem with mine. It's great camera.

Could be several things, camera not working or hooked up, how about common ground, use the 2sd video to test for bad input fault. Sorry can't think of anything else.
