Title: Action Cam 520 and Sony Handycam - Help Post by: AlanC on July 27, 2008, 21:18:15 PM Hi Guys,
I recently got a present of an Action Cam 520 for my b'day... (I know im a jammy git ;D ;D) Im using the Action Cam with a Sony Handycam PC105E. I can get the headcam to record directly onto the Memory Card, BUT the video only seems to record in Black & White (not colour). Is this normal. I cant find any info on the actioncam web site or the Sony Manual. Sorry if this has been asked before.... or seems a bit stupid. PS Im off to Morzine next Sunday, so I hope to get loads of good stuff.

Im new to this tech talk for cameras etc :-\ :-\ :-\ EDIT: I've Googled PVR, so ignore the last question ;) Alan Title: Re: Action Cam 520 and Sony Handycam - Help Post by: graham888 on July 27, 2008, 21:49:19 PM personal video recorder im gussing. its on the action cameras website and looks like a rubish archos, seems to record well though.
here's (http://graham888.pinkbike.com/channel/The-Alps/) a few examples from the 520line camera and pvr setup ive been using. they come out pretty good quality. Title: Re: Action Cam 520 and Sony Handycam - Help Post by: AlanC on July 28, 2008, 07:55:44 AM Thanks Graham,
