The touch screen buttons not working. I can record movie.

You can record screen with a freeware tool called Screen Recorder. It's working well on Windows and the quality of the video is rather good and there is sound in it.
Good luck!

Normally the touch screen should be activated, try removing battery to reset settings, if touch screen still does not work, then it is faulty.

Your Sony camcorder has internal hard-disk and records by default to this media. If this is full, you need to offload the recordings and free up some space on the disk. But to select the memory card you can do the following:

Selecting the recording media for movies:
Touch (MENU) [Show others] [MEDIA SETTINGS] (under
[MANAGE MEDIA] category) [MOVIE MEDIA SET].
The [MOVIE MEDIA SET] screen appears.

Touch the desired recording media.

Touch [YES] .OK
The recording medium is now changed.

For still images:
Selecting the recording media for photos
Touch (MENU) [Show others] [MEDIA SETTINGS] (under
[MANAGE MEDIA] category) [PHOTO MEDIA SET].
The [PHOTO MEDIA SET] screen appears.

Touch the desired recording media.

Touch [YES] .OK
The recording medium is changed.
Hope this helps, if more help needed, reply back.

Press the power button.

Aim the camera at the subject.

Do not touch the microphone while recording.
Sounds such as from pressing buttons will be recorded in
the movie.


Press the movie button to shoot.the movie button is towards the right of the view lens.
Recording starts.
During recording, the elapsed
recording time and [ Rec.] will
display in the LCD monitor.

warning message pertains to some limitations of the hard disk of the camcorder. try to see if you can take still images.check hdd capacity by checking hdd set (touch p-menu>set-up>hdd set>OK>scroll to hdd info>OK) see if you still have space, if you don't, do HDD FORMAT. note:this will delete all your image files, so before you do this make sure you already transferred or backed-up your files in your computer. if issue persists, you may want to RESET (press button located near the right side of the disp/batt info buttons) the unit.make sure cam is on,press reset button using fine-tipped object like pin or paperclip. hope this helps. thanks :)

Hi,
   Just delete unuseful data from drive or connect the camrea to your pc cut the required movie and paste it on your pc drive then it will work.

Thanks for using fixya.

It's the disc not the camera......I purchased a 3 pack of Sony DVD-R discs. I put the first disc in and it recorded once. The next time I tried to record I got the message "movie recording disabled". After calling Sony, searching online, resetting the camera and reading through the manual I replaced the disc with another from the 3 pack and it is recording just fine. I read that recording straight to DVD has many problems, and I believe this is one of them. SONY SUCKS!!!!!
