I'm not sure this will work. In my case, after taking a shot the image stays on for a few seconds, meaning that I can't shoot quickly on the next shot. At first, I assumed I had a slow SDHC, so I bought the fastest card I could find. After inserting it, no difference in the camera performance. By accident, however, after taking one shot I tapped the shoot button lightly, and voila, I was good to go with the next shot. Give it a shot. When you get the dark screen, try tapping the shoot button.

hello jasmine, the camera works but only memory for storing photos. For video has to be with minidv tape.

All i did on mine was installed the micro sd, formatted it. And it worked. Either with a pc or on the camera

I haven't used video mode. I was playing only with photo options in the camera.

The camera I received has yet to produce even one second of video. In other words, it's a lemon. Also found out that the camera is incompatible with Windows 8.1. New drivers are reportedly available, yet on Sony's support site the problem was not addressed.

not a common problem, the camera shoots higher than 30 FPS which would be standard to capture motion in video. Camera is great with a great price.

Try with and without the image stabilization to see if that makes a difference. Also try at lower resolution. I just did "Fast 720P" with a clear picture, I also had record when moving so it only never recorded more that 5 min at a time. I have not noticed that problem yet, but I have notice jumps(screen goes blank?). Could be the card. Make sure it is a class 10 card. I just upgraded to 64gig SanDisk Extreme and will see if it makes a difference.

I just tried it. I took the memory card out and slipped it into my printer, which has the card readers in it. It came right up and played well. I then used Dropbox (a free program) to save the video to my computer.

Wow, sounds like the cam is at least _partially_ to blame if it gets that hosed over any memory card that does anything less than short out connections.You may have done this but just in case:-Are any of the pins in the CF slot on your camera bent? The SD adapter might have done that.-Is there any global reset for your camera? The controller in it is likely confused, but not _broken_ per se.

Hello, I know the Playstation 3 playbacks avchd video straight from the memory stick pro duo used in Sony's avchd video cameras. Maybe you should try your card on a playstation 3 and see if It can playback the video. Hope this helps.

The sound records on the videos OK and I can hear it when I upload them to my computer. But the camera itself makes no sounds whatsoever -- no video playback sound, no shutter sound, etc., despite what the camera settings are. It's almost as if its own speaker is not connected / broken.

Thanks for the reply. We actually ended up returning the camera to FP after calling the help center and trying different cards. The card reader must have been broken, because the replacement camera they sent us, read all the cards we had tried in the old one... FP did send the new camera with no problem.

In video mode it does record audio-now if I can just get it to work properly

Hi - video importing doesn't work for me. I'm using Win 7 pro....not home premium. I'm using the latest version of PMB (5.2), it simply does not recognize the camera connection at all. I've tried connecting it to 2 computers and used different USB ports. I'm out of ideas.

make sure you activate the "remote commander" control, situated in the main menu on the camera.hope that works
