How can i reset my sony HC3 Cam

SOURCE: repair firewire Sony HDR-HC3

I have a HDR-HC3 and I had the same problem too... This model has ALOT of problems with transferring files and I need to pay $90 to get it repaired... Try it on a Mac, if iMovie cant pick it up it means you have a firewire problem.

Hello,
ECM-HZ1 Microphone is compatible as HDR-HC3 has Active Interface Shoe for this mic.

Which software package are you using? My brother was able to solve the HD capture problem by using Adobe After Effects.

I have the same problem, screen went red then about a month later went black. If I rotate the screen so its on the outside when flat against the camcorder side, it works OK so I'm living with that for now, but you can't use the corder in the normal way for recording viewing the screen. All other functions are OK.

I have the problem, but not the solution.
