Sound like a problem with the internal pad; this job isn't easy to solve it self; I suggest contact your techincian support.

It sounds like a sensor problem. I recently ordered repairs on one of my Sony video cams. They had to replace the lens and the sensors, but they are also refurbishing it. When it gets back, it will be in "like new" condition and ready for many more years of quality service. The repair cost is minimal compared to replacing the cam. I recommend calling Sony Company Tech support, wade through their telephone menu-maze and talk with the camcorder repair department. Here is the number as listed on their website: Priority Service Line (for U.S. only): 239-768-7547

TIPS to help protect your camera: No matter how tempting it is to film a beautiful sunset, pointing the camera at the sun for extended times (even a few minutes) can damage the lens and sensors. Regarding filming at the beach (especially if windy), or in snowy or rainy conditions without weather protection, the moisture, sand, etc can, and will mess up a camera. It

Hi rick, the same thing happens to my sony z1u...it turns off and then back on in playback mode...did you find a solution?

It complete depends what you are recording in! PAL or NTSC? and how many frames... FCP is customized to your camera settings, match them up and then capture away!

I capture mine using a PC because then you can play around with both MAC and PC editing platforms as MAC captures are encrypted to only run on MAC.
