Action Cam 520 and Sony Handycam - Help
« 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 Grin Grin)

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.

i found that you have to have the camera connected before you turn on the handycam. we use a pvr with the actioncam and have to connect it before we switch the pvr to AV. just try a few different things and it should change to colour.

personal video recorder im gussing. its on the action cameras website and looks like a rubish archos, seems to record well though.
here's a few examples from the 520line camera and pvr setup ive been using. they come out pretty good quality.
